“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/…

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

@Activism2014 Yes, we've tried various approaches to this - it's a trade-off between making the data available and having it harvested by spammers, etc.

@WhatDoTheyKnow why have you hidden the email address of public authorities? Anyone can suggest an update but nobody can see it. It was perfectly available to see months ago but now hidden. So much for promoting transparency.

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.

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…
