What our clients said about the course
The opportunity to practice and discuss redactions, and hear from others with varied experiences. Having limited experience of FoI, the discussion of exemptions here was interesting. The course was helpful in highlighting areas which I can continue to develop my own knowledge (particularly any redactions necessary for court orders).
