FOI Statistics

Freedom of Information statistics

As part of SOAS' compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (FoIA), we are expected to publish certain information to keep the public informed about matters of public interest such as how we make decisions, how we spend money, and how we meet our legal and regulatory obligations.

In the most recent revision of the section 45 Code of Practice on the implementation of the FoIA, the government recommended that all public authorities should now publish information about the FOI requests they receive.

We aim to be as transparent as possible about the type of FOI requests we receive and how we respond to them. To fulfil this aim you will find quarterly and annual reports on our FOI compliance from the current and previous two years on this page.
