This training course is intended for records management
practitioners who are seeking to deepen their knowledge of
specific key elements of the records management function. It also
provides an opportunity to network with other professionals in the
field. It builds on the Introduction to Records Management session
in the Basic Archive Skills Training Day and on the Records
Management and Digital Records training course. It assumes
reasonable knowledge and experience of organizational records
management programmes.
The seminar examines four key areas of records management. It
begins with a treatment of legal issues, focusing on Data
Protection and Freedom of Information but including other
legislation affecting records management. Records Management
standards are then covered in a practical exercise designed to
develop audit tools for RM programmes. There is an appraisal and
retention schedule workshop and to ensure maximum benefit,
participants should bring examples of lists of file series or
record survey documentation. Finally the seminar will consider
vital records management and business continuity planning. The
seminar advocates managing all records according to the same
principles regardless of media so there is no separate coverage of
digital records. Therefore a short info~byte highlighting the main
considerations in managing records series across media is also
included.
The course fee of £129.25 (inc. VAT) includes course notes and
useful sources for further information. The fee also includes
lunch (with vegetarian option, please let the directors know if
you have any other special dietary needs) and tea and coffee.
