Model Publication Scheme
A guide to information that we make available to you
Under the MPS, the information we provide must be listed under certain “classes” of information. These are the categories of information that are detailed below. As FOI applies to other bodies and sectors across Scotland – such as the Scottish Government and Councils for example –this means that not all of the categories in the MPS apply to housing associations/co-operatives.
The details of all the information we hold under each of the classes that apply to our organisation, and hyperlinks to access this information when available online, are outlined below.
