Hi All,
I am trying to find out appropriate retention periods for records relating
to disciplinary procedures. We have records such as written warnings,
correspondence and material about tribunal proceedings. I am aware that we
can't keep these indefinitely under the Data Protection Act, but is there
any guidance as to how long such records should be kept? I have found
advice that states that warnings should be destroyed upon expiry, but how
do you determine the data of expiry? I can see that a lot of places retain
warnings for 6 months before destruction, but how do you back this up?
Thanks
Vicki
