Any public sector organization has the right to give you access to their information under the freedom of information (FOI). Information is available to anyone who requests it. Data protection legislation also allows you to request information about yourself.

How do you write a strong appeal letter?

Choosing the right tone and content:

An opening statement. There should be a clear statement of the letter's purpose in the first sentence or two.
Factuality is key. Provide factual details without dramatizing the situation.
Make sure you are specific.
Provide documentation.
Keep it simple.
Readers should not be manipulated.
The Right Way to Talk About Feelings.
Keep it short.

Under the Freedom of Information Act, how can I request information?

Requests for information must be made in writing according to the Freedom of Information Act. It is important to note, however, that public authorities also have duties under equalities legislation. Public authorities should provide assistance if making a request in writing is impossible or unreasonably difficult for you.
