A well-designed file plan is vital to a successful records management programme. Properly integrated with a records retention schedule and other key elements, a file plan makes it easier to control and access records and information to support day to day work, to comply with legislation (including Freedom of Information) and to meet the need for accountability. The National Archives has identified a file plan as a key component of any accredited Electronic Records Management System.
This workshop is for anyone involved in developing and implementing a file plan for their organisation. The programme will include:
· Options for developing a file plan
· The advantages of a functional approach
· The process of developing a functional file plan
· Critical Success Factors
Practical group work will be a key element of the workshop.
Elizabeth Parker has more than 20 years experience in records management as practitioner, consultant and trainer. She was a pioneer of the functional methodology in the 1980s and is now the UK’s leading authority on developing file plans based on business functions and activities. She is the author of Managing Your Organisation’s Records.

Teesside Airport is 15 minutes away and BMI provides daily services to and from London Heathrow. Newcastle Airport, which connects to other centres, is also easily accessible by road and the Metro links the airport to the main East Coast rail route at Newcastle. The A1(M) is less than 15 minutes from Viewpoint. There is plenty of easily accessible public car parking. For anyone requiring an overnight stay, the conference centre has negotiated reduced rates with a local hotel.
