Kevin Dunion has been the Scottish Information Commissioner since 2003. He has issued over 500 formal decisions since the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act came into effect in January 2005. He has a team of 21 staff based in St Andrews Fife to assist him in carrying out investigations and promoting the legislation.
He contributes extensively to professional events and seminars in the UK and as the Scottish experience is increasingly being looked at by other regimes, he is engaged in international freedom of information development. He has acted as an advisor to the Carter Centre in its work on FoI in Jamaica and also contributed to the Scottish Executive programme of support to Malawi.
