MG ALBA, along with all other public authorities in the UK, has a legal duty under the Act to adopt and maintain a publication scheme.
The Act states that the publication scheme should specify:
The aim of this scheme is to provide a comprehensive guide to the information MG ALBA makes available and, wherever possible, to provide an easy method to access this information.
This scheme is published in Gaelic and English, and large print versions in both languages are also available. This scheme will be made available on the MG ALBA website and also by means of a hard copy for those who do not have access to the internet. To be sent a hard copy of this scheme please contact MG ALBA.
Charges which may be made for information published under this scheme
Material which is published and accessed on a website will be provided free of charge (i.e. there is no charge by us, although the user would of course have to meet any charges imposed by their Internet Service Provider and any personal printing costs).
For those without internet access, or where information is not published on our website, single copy print outs will generally be available free of charge. In certain circumstances (e.g. multiple print-outs and where information is provided in non-paper and non-electronic format) charges may be made for information subject to a charging regime prescribed under the Act.
Charges may be made for actual expenses incurred such as:
If a charge is to be made, confirmation of the payment due will be given before the information is provided. Payment may be required prior to provision of the information that has been requested.
The method by which information published under this scheme will be made available
Where it is within our capability, we will always try to publish information on our website. Where information is not available on our website or if you do not wish to access information in that way you should contact MG ALBA with your request for information and we can provide the information by e-mail, hard copy or in another format. Obligations under disability and discrimination legislation and any other legislation to provide information in other forms and formats will be adhered to when providing information in accordance with this scheme.
