Apologies for asking what is no doubt dumb question to those of you
more experienced records managers, but of crucial importance to me at
the moment!
(And apologies for cross-mailing)
I have had a request from senior manager to develop some sort of
"protective marking" for documents that are potentially releasable under
either FoI or DPA. More as an alert I presume, as we would still apply
Public Interest Test etc when deciding on release or not.
I do have concerns that these "protective markings" or alerts might
lull individual managers into a false sense of security, presuming that
if they mark something for example "confidential" that it would never be
released.
I would be grateful if you could let me know if you use anything like
this (especially in a health service environment) and your experiences
of using protective marking.
Thank you
