Using the debate of identifying appropriate weeding periods together with
adequate relevant and not excessive data was a useful way of dealing with a
review of the Human Resources hard copy files held centrally. There was not
much hard discussion, as drilling down to the reason for retention soon
revealed the core material required.
Perceive some more difficulties with those files held locally though. Think
the ODPC's Code of Practice will assist once it is released.
