2025 The Scottish Public Information Forum will meet several times in 2025 with dates to be announced once the MSP’s FoISA Reform Bill is published. However a date for your diary is Friday 26th September from 11-1pm as SPIF will meet to celebrate International Right to Know Day.
SPIF The Scottish Public Information Forum (SPIF) convened, online, on 23rd September 2024 and was attended by 47 people from across Scotland. It received updates from the Scottish Information Commissioner, the UK Information Commissioner’s office, the Scottish Government and CFoIS. The first half of the meeting enabled David Hamilton to reflect on his first year as the Scottish Information Commissioner. It has been a busy time including the launch of a second Level Three intervention in the Scottish Government to “support improvements” in its “Communications and Records”, and a new twin track process of appeals to tackle the backlog.
The next meeting of SPIF will be organised once Katy Clark MSP’s Bill is published to reform FoISA.
