NORTH NOTTS CREATE LTD
PUBLICATION SCHEME

Introduction

Legal Requirement
The publication scheme is a requirement under Section 19 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The Act promotes greater openness and accountability across the public sector by requiring all public authorities to make information available proactively, through a publication scheme.

The publication scheme is a guide to the information published by North Notts CREATE Ltd. North Nottinghamshire College has developed the publication scheme for the Further Education Sector in respect of its subsidiary North Notts CREATE Ltd and is committed to publishing the information it describes.
North Notts CREATE Ltd was established on 16 September 1993 as a wholly owned subsidiary of North Nottinghamshire College. The principal activity of the company is the provision of consultancy, research, education, accreditation, training, enterprise and conference and exhibition services.

Accessing information covered by the publication scheme
Charges may apply for some classes of information not available on the website. There is a one-off fee of £10. All requests are to be made either by email to foi@nnc.ac.uk or in writing to the PA to the Principal, North Notts College, Carlton Road, Worksop, Notts S81 7HP. Please note that the material covered has already been prepared in a format ready for distribution.

Feedback
It is important that the scheme meets the needs of the public and the college welcomes suggestions as to how the scheme might be improved, for example, by including additional classes of information. Any questions, comments or complaints about the scheme should be sent in writing to the PA to the Principal, North Nottinghamshire College, Carlton Road, Worksop, Notts S81 7HP. If we are unable to resolve a complaint you can complain to the Information Commissioner, the independent body who oversees the Freedom of Information Act.
