15. Any requests to a Scottish public authority on environmental matters, including those not in recorded form and those transmitted by electronic means, potentially may be classified as requests for environmental information and, if they do, they must be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the EISRs. It is therefore essential that everyone working in a Scottish public authority who deals with correspondence, or who otherwise may be required to provide information, is familiar with the requirements of the EISRs and this Code, in addition to the FOISA and the Codes of Practice issued under its provisions. They should take account of any relevant guidance on practice issued by the Scottish Executive and by the Scottish Information Commissioner.
16. Scottish public authorities should also ensure that proper training is provided. In planning and delivering training, Scottish public authorities should be aware of other provisions affecting the disclosure of information such as FOISA, DPA and the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985
