Freedom of Information
The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA) requires that all housing associations/co-operatives in Scotland must produce and maintain a publication scheme. This must detail all of the key information that we publish and how you can access it.
The Guide to Information is our publication scheme and contains links to where you can find all of the information listed online. Key Housing Association Ltd has adopted the Scottish Information Commissioner’s (SIC) Model Publication Scheme (MPS), and this Guide has been approved by the SIC.
You can download a copy of the Guide to Information here.
The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (the Act) requires Scottish public authorities to publish information in accordance with the MPS, making it available to the public. The publication scheme must:
- publish the classes of information that the authority makes routinely available
- tell the public how to access the information and whether information is available free of charge or on payment.
Key Housing Association has been designated as a Scottish Public Authority by an order made under section 5 of the Act, known as the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (Designation of Persons as Scottish Public Authorities) Order 2019.
Key Housing Association’s Guide to Information
The purpose of the Guide to Information is to:
- allow the public to see what information is available (and what is not available) for Key Housing Association in relation to each class in the Model Publication Scheme 2021
- state what charges may be applied
- explain how to find the information easily
- provide contact details for enquiries and to get help with access to the information
- explain how to request information that has not been published.
Alongside the Act, the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (the EIRs) provide a separate right of access to the environmental information that we hold. This guide to information also contains details of the environmental information that we routinely make available.
If what you are looking for is not here, you can make a Request For Information.
If you want access to the information we hold about you, you can make a Subject Access Request.
Access to Environmental Information is via an Environmental Information Request.
