The aim of the publication scheme is to summarize the standard information that Tate makes available to the public most habitually, the form in which this information is published and details of any charges. As with that of other public authorities, the Scheme is approved by the Information Commissioner.
A copy of the Publication Scheme is available here in PDF format and can be obtained in written form if you write to: Freedom of Information, Director’s Office. Tate, Millbank, London SW1P 4RG or by email to: foi@tate.org.uk.
