The Publication Scheme

 We produce a wide range of materials relating to our responsibilities and accountability.  We also hold a considerable volume of information about cases and applicants.  However, Sections 23-25 of the Criminal Appeal Act 1995 prohibit us from disclosing information about individual cases except under very specific circumstances.      

 We are required by the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to have in place a publication scheme.  The Publication Scheme is designed to make the most commonly sought pieces of information readily and easily available.  The Publication Scheme and most of the publications referred to in it are available on this site.
