Publication schemes form only a part of FOI. Additionally, you have the right of access to information not in the Publication Scheme subject to certain exemptions.
Requests for information not included in the Tate Publication Scheme should be as specific as possible in order to enable Tate staff to answer them in the most efficient and thorough way possible.
Requests should be made in writing to:
Freedom of Information
Director's Office
Millbank
London SW1P 4RG
Or by email to: foi@tate.org.uk
In general, a response will be given within 20 working days of receiving the request. If Tate is unable to provide you with the information that you seek, then a response setting out why the information is not available will be provided.
We do not currently charge for responding to information requests. However, Tate reserves the right to levy a charge to cover the costs of processing the request, photocopying and postage.
If you are not satisfied with Tate's response to a request for information you may initially seek an internal review (or appeal) of the response provided, by writing to Freedom of Information, Director’s Office. Tate, Millbank, London, SW1P 4RG, or by e-mail to: foi@tate.org.uk. The Review/Appeal will be carried out by a panel independent of, those who were involved in answering the response, which you are appealing against.
If you remain dissatisfied with Tate's response following the internal review, you may seek an independent review from the Information Commissioner.
Not all information that a public authority holds is disclosable under the Freedom of Information Act. There are a number of exemptions that may apply to information, which Tate has to consider, when assessing what information can be provided. The Department for Constitutional Affairs website is one of a number of sources available if you are interested in learning more about the rights you have under the Freedom of Information Act and the exemptions that may apply to your requests for information.
