FREEDOM OF INFORMATION
Applicants to this Fund should note that Glasgow City Council, as a Scottish public authority, is subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.

Under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (‘FOI’) individuals have a right to access all types of recorded information held by the Council. The Council must comply with these requests unless specific exemptions apply. Any information disclosed under FOI is disclosed into the public domain.

Every type of recorded information is covered by FOI. This includes, letters, e-mails, minutes, reports, file notes, notes of phone calls etc. This means that any information that you provide the Council in connection with your grant application will become subject to FOI. If we receive a request for such information, the Council would be required to release the information unless an exemption applied. For example, commercially sensitive or confidential information would not normally be disclosed. In most cases, exemptions are subject to the public interest test meaning that even if an exemption applies, the Council is required to consider whether disclose is still in the public interest. If the Council received a request relating to information that your organisation had provided us, we would always aim to notify you of the request and would seek your views. To find out more about FOI, please refer to the Glasgow City Council Data Protection and Freedom of Information webpage.
 
In addition, if you consider that the information contained within your application should not be disclosed, please ensure that you complete the FOI certificate on completion of your grant application (a link to this FOI certificate will be provided upon completion of your grant application). The Council will take your views into consideration when dealing with an FOI request but ultimately the Council would make a decision on whether information is disclosed.
