<h2>Webpage Assessment</h2>  
Much due care has been put into correctly recording disclosure URLs. Typically the "About", "Corporate", "Publications" and "Sitemap" sections are checked at the very least.  
Occasionally it is nessicary to use a site or Google search. In several rare cases, there is a secret "Disclosure" navigation menu you can find if you find one of the mandatory publishing obligations in that category (seriously).<br>  
Some rules about leniency:<br>  
<ul>  
<li>An empty FOI disclosure log counts, a page outlining what the FOI Act is does not.</li>  
<li>A disclosure log in PDF or Word format counts :(</li>  
<li>An empty File/Record list counts (although that's very minimalistic that you have no files, electronic or paper)</li>  
<li>Only a current information publication scheme page counts, not a s.9 FOI Act page or an organisation chart.</li>  
<li>If there isn't a page easily listing all current and past Annual Reports, the most current one (html, pdf) counts.</li>  
<li>Consultancy contracts might not need it's own webpage (if in Annual Report), grants/appointments might not apply to all organisations but Legal Services Expenditure (and all other obligations) does need a webpage. </li>
