Records requests
Worksheet · moraph.org/commons/sessions/voice/records-requests
These exercises are for you. Nobody has to share their answers.
1 Already published?
Think of something you would like to know about a public body. Where could you look first to see if it is already published?
2 From vague to specific
Rewrite two of the vague request cards as clear requests. Say which body, what records, which dates and what format.
3 Request log
Keep track of any request you send.
| Body | What I asked for | Date sent | Reference | Reply due |
|---|---|---|---|---|
4 Before you send
Tick each one before you send a request.
- I checked whether it is already published
- I am sending it to the body that holds the records
- I described the records, dates and format
- I included the contact details the law asks for
- I kept a copy and noted the date
