Publication scheme

The ONR publication scheme describes the categories of information we publish and explains how to access that information.

The Freedom of Information Act requires every public authority to have a publication scheme, which informs members of the public about the information that is proactively available. and the Environmental Information Regulations require us to make environmental information available.

The scheme must set out ONR's commitment to make certain classes of information routinely available, such as policies and procedures, minutes of meetings, annual reports and financial information.

ONR has formally adopted theĀ Information Commissioners model publication scheme.
