Access to Information

Welcome to English Heritage’s Access to Information pages.  Within these pages you will find guidance on how to locate information already published by English Heritage.  You will also find out how to make requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) and Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). 

All public authorities and government departments are required to abide by the FOIA and the DPA.  By placing an FOI request you can obtain a wide range of information held by English Heritage, subject to exemptions.  The DPA allows you to access all your personal data held by a public authority, subject to exemptions.  This is known as a Subject Access request.

English Heritage does not usually charge a fee for the processing of either Freedom of Information or Subject Access Requests.
