Guide to the Publication Scheme
The Publication Scheme is a guide to the information routinely published by the University of Worcester. If you would like any of our published information please look below under (What we publish). If what you require is not listed please contact the University Secretary and Clerk to the Board of Governors
With a few exceptions publications can be downloaded free from our website. Publications are available in additional formats for those who require them. For information, contact the Publication Scheme Co-ordinator. If you require paper copies of any documents, there may be a charge, which will be quoted to you at the time of your request.
Adopting a publication scheme is a requirement of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 This Act promotes greater openness and accountability across the public sector by requiring all ‘public authorities’ to make information available proactively through a publication scheme. ‘Public authorities’ are defined in the Act and include universities, further education colleges and sixth form colleges.
A Publication Scheme is a guide to the specific information held by public authorities. The information is split into seven “classes”. The University is committed to reviewing and updating its information guide on a regular basis.
The University of Worcester has adopted the Model Publication Scheme 2009 developed for Universities and is therefore committed to publishing the information it describes.
