About this Publication Scheme

The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 ('the Act') gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by Scottish public authorities, subject to certain exemptions.  Under Section 23 of the Act, SQA must adopt and maintain a Publication Scheme setting out the classes of information we publish, or intend to publish, the manner in which we intend to publish the information and whether a charge will be made for the information.  In adopting (or reviewing) our Publication Scheme, we are required to have regard to the public interest in:

This document sets out the various types of information that SQA holds, and the ways it can be made available. Part 1 of this document gives details of the procedures for requesting information. Part 2 lists seven classes of information that can be obtained from SQA.

SQA is committed to openness, transparency and the public interest in the exercise of its functions. The SQA Publication Scheme is intended to contribute to the spirit of openness and transparency and is a statutory requirement under the Act.

The SQA Publication Scheme will be reviewed at least annually.
