Course Content

Official information issues are the leading cause of complaints to the Office of the Ombudsmen. As a result, official information is a key source of political and legal risk for any public sector organisation.

salt Official Information Act provides your organisation with the knowledge and assurance of this Act so you can ensure compliance. salt Official Information Act trains your staff to identify information issues early, identify what issues can be dealt with by them and what issues need escalation.

  

If your organisation has specific official information policies and procedures, salt™ Official Information  Act, can be customised to your individual needs.
