Jo, why have a separate policy for e-records? Surely a single policy which
makes it clear that records are corporate records whatever their format
would be better?

Subject: Corporate Electronic Records policy
Dear all
I am starting work on drafting a Corporate Electronic Records policy for my
organisation. The intention is that this will be (hopefully!) approved by
our chief officers' management board and will sit within an Information
Management strategy. I've looked at the PRO guidance on producing a policy
but would appreciate looking at ones that have already been completed. If
you have, or a working on, an electronic records policy please contact me as
it would be helpful to gain tips/suggestions on how to go about this.
Additionally our IT section is currently updating our email policy and I've
managed to get them to agree to me having a look at it before it is
approved. Currently there is no records management element to the policy
with the emphasis on deletion to free up mailbox space. Again if anyone has
produced or been involved in an email policy I would be grateful for
suggestions or the possibility of being able to look at such policies.
Sorry to ask so many questions in one post! I will of course share comments
with the list.
Thanks in anticipation.
Jo
