Charges
All information provided through the website is free of charge.
Most of the information in the scheme is available free of charge, however, requests for multiple paper copies may attract a charge.
For requests of publications that involve a charge, full costs will be determined at the time of application.
What about information not covered by the publication scheme?
The publication scheme applies to the College since its formation; it does not cover the predecessor body of The National Council of YMCAs of Wales.
From 1st January 2005 you will have the right, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, to request any information held by a public authority, which it has not already made available through its publication scheme, except for items excluded under the Act.
Requests will have to be made in writing and, in general, public authorities will have 20 working days to respond. A fee may be charged calculated in accordance with Fees Regulations. They will not be required to release information to which an exemption in the Act legitimately applies. However, public authorities may be required to explain to the applicant why they are not releasing information and they may also have to justify this to the Information Commissioner.
Copyright
Reproducing material supplied under the Publication Scheme without the expressed permission of the College may be an infringement of the College’s own copyright. Requests for permission should be addressed to the Head of College. In some cases the copyright may be held by a third party, who may have to be approached directly for permission.
Welsh Language Act
The College takes account of the Welsh Language Act and will accommodate the specific needs of any person seeking access to information through the medium of Welsh.
Accessibility of Information
The College is aware of the relevance of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, particularly parts 3 and 4, which focus on issues of accessibility. It will therefore make reasonable efforts to accommodate the specific needs of any person with a disability seeking access to information covered by this publication scheme.
