The Archives and Records Association (UK & Ireland) will undertake its first advocacy campaign for records management in 2014.
The 'Don't Risk It' campaign is targeted at CEOs and other senior managers in both public and private sectors.
The campaign has three core messages:
• There are significant benefits and economies for organisations which get records management right
• The legal and reputational dangers of getting recordkeeping wrong can be profound
• More organisations need to employ and empower recordkeeping professionals and use his or her skills wisely
The campaign will speak directly to decision makers through a letter writing and leaflet campaign in autumn 2014. It will also give records managers throughout the UK and Ireland the tools to communicate more effectively the important work they do within their own organisations.
Cautionary tales will be shared where poor recordkeeping led to the criminal courts and financial penalties; while good practice case studies will show that investment in a professional record management culture delivers impressive results.
A toolkit to encourage all those employed in recordkeeping roles to make the case for professional recordkeeping within their organisations will be issued in June 2014 and an advocacy and training day linked to the campaign will take place in July 2014. More information on this day will be issued in early May.
