Publication scheme

In terms of the Freedom of Information Act CCW, like all organisations, is required to have a publication scheme that sets out its policies on publishing information to the public.

Purpose and Structure

The purpose of this Publication Scheme is to set out:

• The information we undertake to publish as a matter of course
• How this information will be published
• Whether the information is available free of charge or on payment

The classes of information are grouped into seven main themes:

• Who we are and what we do.
  Organisational information, locations and contacts, constitutional and legal governance.
• What we spend and how we spend it.
  Financial information relating to projected and actual income and expenditure, tendering, procurement and contracts.
• What our priorities are and how we are doing.
  Strategy and performance information, plans, assessments, inspections and reviews.
• How we make decisions.
  Policy proposals and decisions. Decision making processes, internal criteria and procedures, consultations.
• Our policies and procedures.
  Current written protocols for delivering our functions and responsibilities.
• Lists and registers.
  Information held in registers required by law and other lists and registers relating to the functions of the authority.
• The services we offer.
  Advice and guidance, booklets and leaflets, transactions and media releases.A description of the services offered
