“Transparency is the cornerstone of accountability.” It’s not just about FOI response performance. Public authorities should also proactively publish more information. We’ve been checking public authorities across the sectors. Here’s what we found: ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/…
Gabi from OpenUp shares insights & inspiration from our recent seminar on #funding for #Transparency projects (really, also relevant to all NGOs). Full vid at youtube.com/watch?v=h8CXMk…. To read an in-depth report from the event, head to tictec.mysociety.org/fundraising-gu…
We support our friends in #Argentina @DireLegislativo as they fight restrictions that seriously limit the right of access to public information - see directoriolegislativo.org/es/declaracion… (Spanish) #FOI
We're told that @WhatDoTheyKnow is mentioned in this book 👀 Looks very interesting for anyone in #Bristol.

Really enjoyed how this podcast explored using FOI alongside other reporting tactics. A key idea is using existing requests to see how the data might be held and how to best phrase a request. Chuffed to see @WhatDoTheyKnow mentioned – we've over 1m FOI requests published now! 1/3

Excited to be here representing mySociety at @womensaid’s National Conference today, sharing insights on how domestic abuse services can use #FOI and @WhatDoTheyKnow to support their work. #FestivalOfWomensAid

It's great that our public feed of information requested from authorities has helped with this analysis. FOI helps uncover emergent themes in what people need information about. Looking forward to seeing what comes out of authorities digging a layer deeper into each theme.

NEW: Together with @WhatDoTheyKnow, we’ve analysed more than 150,000 FOI requests to identify the common themes that people are interested in to help you decide what information you could proactively publish. ⬇️
Today the campaign group Parents for Inclusive Education release a report that's made great use of the @WhatDoTheyKnow Pro service. See what they've discovered, and how they've done it at mysociety.org/2024/05/23/par… #FOI

Understanding when you can correctly use Section 43 - Commercial interests as a freedom of information request exemption can be a challenge. To help, we've created a self-assessment toolkit to better understand when to use it: ico.org.uk/for-organisati…
