I am the Records

any guidance notes for LEA Education Depts and Schools on retention

Dear Sir or Madam
Thank you for browsing the Department for Education and Skills 'Popular
Questions' website and submitting a new question.
Currently there is no specific guidance for LEAs on retention schedules and
complying with FOI and DPA. However there is general guidance on file
retention which you may find useful.

In addition there is also guidance on retaining pupil records

Further information can also be found via the Departments LEA portal
