Our Information

We classify our published information under three main headings to make it easier to find what you are looking for. These should help you to understand our organisation (who we are), our operations (what we do) and our business practices (how we do it).

Our publication scheme document lists the classes of information that we publish. Classes refer to the types of information that are published rather than the information or publications themselves.

The scheme document puts the classes into sections and these are also shown on this page.

You can follow the heading links to see the sections and their classes. You can then view the information using the links from the classes to the information pages.

Much of the information that we hold is commercially sensitive, so our classes do not include business documents or internal planning information. Similarly, we do not include our clients' confidential information or individual customers' personal data.
