Freedom of Information

Freedom Of Information

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives the public a general right of access to the recorded information held by all UK public authorities, including King’s College London. The Act is designed to promote openness across the public sector.

King’s is committed to openness and we proactively publish a lot of information about the College and its activities on our website. If the information you are looking for isn’t on the web you will need to make an access request. For details visit our freedom of information (FOI) requests page.

Guidance and support

The College has a Freedom of Information Policy, which includes details of the appeals process. This can be accessed from the Policy Zone.

Find an introduction to freedom of information practices and principles in "Freedom of Information - A Brief Guide for Staff" (pdf 92kb). This should answer most basic questions. More detailed guidance on managing information is available on the Library's webpages.
