4. Requesting Information

If you would like to request information about NSCOU’s work, policies, or activities, you can contact us directly by email or post. While we are not legally obliged to respond under the Freedom of Information Act, we will consider all reasonable requests and provide information where it is appropriate and available.

5. Information We May Not Release

Some information may be withheld if it:

  • Contains personal or confidential data
  • Relates to ongoing legal, regulatory, or disciplinary matters
