Model Publication Scheme
INVERCLYDE LEISURE
GUIDE TO INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE MODEL PUBLICATION SCHEME 2021
The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (the Act) requires Scottish public authorities to produce and maintain a publication scheme. Authorities are under legal obligation to:
- publish the classes of information that they make routinely available; and
- tell the public how to access the information and what it might cost.
Inverclyde Leisure have adopted the single Model Publication Scheme updated March 2021 which was produced and approved by the Scottish Information Commissioner March 2021.
You can see this scheme on the Commissioner's website at: http://itspublicknowledge.info/publication-schemes or by contacting us at the address below.
The purpose of this Guide to Information is to:
- allow you to see what information is available (and what is not available) in relation to each class;
- state what charges may be applied;
- explain how you can find the information easily;
- provide contact details for enquiries and to get help with accessing the information; and explain how to request information we hold that has not been published.

Availability and formats
The information we publish through the model scheme is, wherever possible, available on our website. We offer alternative arrangements for people who do not want to, or cannot, access the information online or by inspection at our premises. For example, we can usually arrange to send information to you in paper copy (although there may be a charge for this).
Exempt information
We will publish the information we hold that falls within the classes of information below. If a document contains information that is exempt under Scotland’s freedom of information laws (for example sensitive personal information or a trade secret), we may remove or redact the information before publication but we will explain why.
Copyright and re-use
Where Inverclyde Leisure holds the copyright in its published information, the information may be copied or reproduced without formal permission, provided that:
Where Inverclyde Leisure holds the copyright in its published information, the information may be copied or reproduced without formal permission, provided that:
- it is copied or reproduced accurately;
- it is not used in a misleading context; and
- the source of the material is identified.
The publication scheme may however contain information where the copyright holder is not Inverclyde Leisure. In most cases the copyright holder will be obvious from the documents. In cases where the copyright is unclear, however, it is the responsibility of the person accessing the information to locate and seek the permission of the copyright holder before reproducing the material or in any other way breaching the rights of the copyright holder.
Information about Crown copyright material is available on the website of the King's Printer for Scotland at www.oqps.gov.uk. We can provide you with a copy of this information if you do not have internet access.
Charges
This section explains when we may make a charge for our publications and how any charge will be calculated.
There is no charge to view information on our website or at our premises.
We may charge for providing information to you e.g., photocopying and postage, but we will charge you no more than it actually costs us to do so. We will always tell you what the cost is before providing the information to you.
Our photocopying charge per sheet of paper is shown in the tables below:
Black and white photocopying
| Size of paper | Pence per sheet of paper |
| A1 | Not available |
| A2 | Not available |
| A3 | 20p |
| A4 | 10p |
| A5 | 10p |
Colour photocopying
| Size of paper | Pence per sheet of paper |
| A1 | Not available |
| A2 | Not available |
| A3 | 60p |
| A4 | 30p |
| A5 | 30p |
Postage costs will be recharged at the rate we pay to send the information to you.
When providing copies of pre-printed publications, we will charge no more than the cost per copy of the total print run.
We do not pass any other costs on to you in relation to our published information.
This charging schedule does not apply to our commercial publications (see Class 8 below). These items are offered for sale through retail outlets such as book shops, academic journal websites or museum shops and their price reflects a ‘market value’ which may include the cost of production.
