I think in general all the content here is good, but its pretty wordy and doesn't give any "landmarks" for a confused citizen to orientate themselves.

I think the main messages we want to convey here are:

• The default position is that they must confirm or deny; then release if they have it.
• If they've refused a request, have they applied exemptions correctly?
• General things you can do when refused with an exemption

What do I mean by landmarks? I made a stab at showing this: https://gist.github.com/garethrees/d9acb79dbe46eb4143ffe75ca004cdc7#file-foi-exemption-intro-md
