Dear
all,
Many
thanks to those who provided me with information about Information Governance
Teams.
The
information provided has shown me that more and more teams in the public sector
are creating combined information governance teams. Staffing numbers vary but
the average number in a team is about 3 employees. This is all dependant on
whether the organisation is in central or local government and the commitment
made to information governance by senior management. However, in some organisations
there is still a split between IT and other information governance roles and no
consolidation between corporate and departmental information governance teams.
One
public sector body is managed by a Chief Information Officer and which comprises
both IT and information governance, another organisation has set up an information
management group with the current aim of developing policies and procedures for
information security and a third has information governance reps in each department.
Other
specific specialist areas which are covered by information governance teams
include Knowledge Management, RIPA, information sharing and corporate
complaints.
Kind
regards,
Alex
