Overview
This module gives an overview of the Freedom of Information Act including
what the act is all about, how it is implemented in the workplace and what
controls apply. Most importantly it lets you know how Freedom of Information
relates to your organisation and your workplace.
Having completed the course, learners will be able to understand and explain
why Freedom of information is important, who is responsible for the Act,
explain the main areas of legislation and regulation, and how to promote
best practice. Learners will be fully aware of the importance and means of
safeguarding patient-identifiable information.
Structure
The module is structured into a number of engaging learning activities which
guide the learner through each issue. These modules are supported by
graphics, animations and a range of knowledge challenges which not only help
with the retention of information but which are constantly reinforcing key
messages.
Once the learning element of the module has been completed the learner will
be directed to the quiz section where his/her understanding will be put to
the test.
Target audience
This course is targeted at all employees within NHS and social care
organisations. It is also appropriate to all Public sector bodies including
Education, Council, Police, Fire & Government.
Online assessment
Online assessment can be provided through the use of the Virtual College's
Training Management System (TMS). The TMS offers a complete online
assessment and is linked to a learner’s individual training record.
Accreditation
At present, this course is not formally accredited. However, it was
developed in partnership with subject specialists from within the NHS and we
are currently exploring the potential for gaining accreditation for all the
TIGER Information Governance modules.
Cost
£35.25 inc. VAT When more than one TIGER module is purchased a reduction
will be offered. A cost reduction will also be offered for multiple users
within a business (POA).
