Dear All,
There exists in my authority a proposal to separate compliance (FOI, DPA
etc) from Records Management. My personal view is that there is much
merit in combining the two given the tight relationship between them. I
regard the roles as complimentary; to have good records management
practices is to provide good compliance. I also think that Section 46
of FOI establishes a clear relationship.
I would be interested to learn from colleagues as to whether or not they
would support this joined up function and any additional views you may
have.
As this issue hits both lists I have sent to both, apols for any
duplicate posts for those on both lists.
Regards
Paul
