Hello As Worcestershire decided not to become a single status authority at this time, we are now beginning to explore the feasibility of investigating a shared records management service between the County and the District councils. I have done a bit of research on this list and elsewhere, and can't find many examples of this sort of service working in practice. Shared Services seems to be a very hot topic at the moment, but in the main it is delivered in areas such as HR, Finance, Revs and Bens etc. Has anybody had any experience at looking into this area? What services would/did it cover? How was it delivered? I would really welcome any comments/suggestions or pointers, and I can summarise for the list. Thank you very much in advance.
