Subject: CHS and the Public Records (Scotland) Act 2011



Good morning all,



The Public Records (Scotland) Act 2011, which came into force on 1st

January 2013, requires all named public authorities in Scotland to produce

a Records Management Plan, detailing the arrangements in place within that

authority, to manage their records.



At present, each local authority within Scotland holds and processes

information in relation to the current Children’s Hearings System, local

Children’s Panels and the Children’s Panel Advisory Committees. This

information is to remain either the responsibility of the local authority

or Scottish Government.



From 24 June 2013, information relating to the new Children’s Hearings

System, the Area Support Teams and national Children’s Panel will be the

responsibility of Children’s Hearings Scotland (CHS). CHS will be producing

one Records Management Plan to evidence the arrangements in place to manage

this information throughout Scotland. In terms of the Data Protection Act

1998, local authorities will be Data Processors for this information and

CHS will be Data Controllers.



I would be grateful if you could forward this information onto the Records

Manager or person responsible for producing your local authority’s Records

Management Plan under the Public Records (Scotland) Act 2011 so that they

are aware of this transfer in responsibilities from 24 June 2013.



If anyone has any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact me.



Many thanks and kind regards,



Ava
