As the regulator responsible for overseeing and enforcing Freedom of Information laws, I am pleased to present this annual report, reflecting on the past year’s progress, challenges and future priorities in ensuring transparency and accountability in public institutions.
The right to access information is fundamental to a healthy democracy, empowering citizens to engage with government decisions, hold public authorities accountable and build trust in Government. Over the past year, our office has continued to uphold this right by monitoring compliance, resolving disputes and promoting best practices in information disclosure.
Paul Vane, Information Commissioner.
