8.17 External and community relations
content
This category covers information relating to the institution’s relationship with its external environment. These include how it manages its relationship with the local community and how it retains contact with its former staff and students.
By virtue of its nature, most institutions will probably find that the majority of these classes are already made available to the public by some means.
In some instances information will be exempt from disclosure where it contains personal information, or information which, if released, may substantially prejudice the commercial interests of any person.
