The right to inspect files, requests for information under (state) freedom of information laws and requests for information under the GDPR pose considerable challenges for public administrations. In order to answer citizens' claims successfully and with legal certainty, it is necessary to have knowledge of the legal situation, which is scattered across several areas of law. Processes must then be developed to effectively respond to citizens' inquiries and requests for information within the legal deadlines. The training provides you with the necessary legal basics and shows practical possibilities for a successful and practicable implementation.
