Freedom of Information Requests
The Freedom of Information Act deals with access to official information and gives individuals or organisations the right to request information from any public authority.

To make an FOI Request, please email foi@some.ox.ac.uk.
Please provide a clear and full description of the information you require. If your request relates to specific document(s), please provide any details you may have (e.g. date of production, author, etc.) and its likely location (e.g. the relevant staff member, department or team). Please note that we cannot provide you with the information you require unless you provide contact details.
