Publication scheme

Wakefield Council is required by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) to have a Publication Scheme. 

The Scheme provides information on the Council's services, spending, decision-making, performance, and policies. 

The Council's website has a section dedicated to the Scheme, which is easy to navigate and regularly updated.
