There's a reddit thread about an authority employee wanting to use FOI to make internal improvements https://www.reddit.com/r/TheCivilService/comments/153tza3/any_comeback_for_making_a_foi_request/
A couple of insights:
This might need a bit of a mindset change.
Makes me wonder (again) whether Reddit might be a good place for an official mySoc account (or WDTK for that matter) that could act as a kind of brand advocate.
Capacity, though, as ever.
Yeah. I think it's more about spotting these things in the wild, writing about them on our own platforms, and then hopefully those who are pointing to WDTK will point to the more specific advice we've written.
This might need a bit of a mindset change. All information is available to the public by default, unless exempt.
In theory. They mean without them needing to ask for it. Whilst this is kinda true, without a knowing what info an authority has, you might not even know to ask for it in the first place.

Needs further research and should not be case specific, we’d need to base it on public information.
