What is the Publication Scheme?
Under Freedom of Information legislation we are required to provide a
Publication Scheme. The Publication Scheme is a document
listing, in the form of a series of classes, all the information which we
make available to the public or which we intend to make available in the
near future. Classes are broad subjects under which publications are
grouped, to make them easier to find.
Our publication scheme was approved by the Information Commissioner for
the period, from the 28 February 2003 - 28 February 2007.
Use of our Publications
The copyright of material listed in the Publication Scheme is owned by
Sunderland City Council unless otherwise indicated. The supply of
documents under Freedom of Information does not automatically allow you or
your organisation to re-use the documents in a way that would infringe
copyright, for example by making multiple copies or re-publishing the
information as your own.
Brief extracts may be reproduced under the fair dealing provisions of the
Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (sections 29 and 30) for the
purpose of research for non-commercial purposes, private study, criticism,
review and news reporting. If you wish to re-use any of the material listed in the publication
scheme, please contact our Information Manager at the address below.
Authorisation for re-use of information not owned by Sunderland City
Council should be sought from the copyright owner concerned. If in doubt
users should contact us in the first instance.
You can find more details on the how our information can be used, and our
licensing terms, from our section on the re-use of
public sector information.
