I agree with Bob. We do not use e-mail for the very same reason -
confidentiality can't be guaranteed. We have also run this past our Co med
advisor who also feels the same.

Just a comment! In a previous incarnation I did a Unit Security Officers
course, and two things were made very clear; that photocopying and emails
were the two most insecure ways to transmit information.
There is no guarantee that emails will only be received by the intended
recipient, misdirection by the system, someone else having access to the
receiving mailbox and hacking are just some of things to be considered when
sending sensitive and personal information. If we are certain that items
emailed will always get to their intended destination in a secure manner why
do we all place disclaimers at the foot of our messages??
Regards, Bob

This is what I do and I can't see a problem with it. My emails are
always sent as private and no one but the recipient can access them. I
feel in many ways it is more secure and also more efficient than sending
a paper copy
We have an employment lawyer in HR ( I work for a law firm) who is also
happy with this.

Subject: Email Reports
I've recently encountered a situation where an OHA has been emailing
copies
of her reports following management referrals to managers, who then
print
out the report for their personnel files. A signed hard copy has not
been
sent, but one has been printed out for the casenotes.Increasingly, the
managers my team are dealing with want reports promptly and don't like
being sent bits of paper in the post leading to conflicts when the OHA
won't oblige.
Given increasing use of IT in our professional lives,what are the
groups'
thoughts on this issue ?
Kind regards to all,
Giuliana
