Making a Freedom of Information Complaint

The Policing Board has a Freedom of Information complaints procedure in place which allows you to make a complaint based on the following reasons:

  • If you feel that the Board is not complying with its Publication Scheme, or
  • If you consider that your request for information, has not been handled properly or are otherwise dissatisfied with the outcome of the Board’s decision.

In the first instance we would hope to deal with your complaint informally, but if we are unable to resolve the issue you may make a complaint, in writing, to the Policing Board’s:

Chief Executive
Northern Ireland Policing Board
FOI Complaints
James House, Block D
2 – 4 Cromac Avenue
The Gasworks
Belfast
BT7 2JA

Or you can submit your request via email at foi@nipolicingboard.org.uk

Full details of the Board’s FOI complaints procedure can be found in our Policy

If you are still not satisfied with the outcome, you also have the right to complain directly to the Information Commissioner via this weblink –
