Make and explore UK #FreedomOfInformation requests. A transparency project from @mysociety. For help https://t.co/5ICeM9PKmc

Core values

- **Transparency and Accountability**: It enables citizens to submit Freedom of Information (FOI) requests, which helps in holding public authorities accountable and promotes transparency[3][5].
- **Policy Change**: The platform has facilitated changes in policy, such as the investigation into the use of under-qualified medical staff in NHS hospitals and GP surgeries, leading to improvements in healthcare[1].
- **Public Benefit**: The information disclosed through FOI requests is made publicly available, benefiting not just the requester but also the wider public, including journalists and campaigners. This has led to numerous news stories and public campaigns on various issues[5].
- **Community Engagement**: It fosters community engagement and scrutiny by allowing responses to be shared and discussed publicly, such as through platforms like Reddit[1].
