Records Retention Implementation

Conference 2010 S07 - Monday 11.30am

The development, by the RMS, of the Local Government Classification and Retention Scheme (LGCRS) has sparked debate in both public and private sector. The concept of providing a retention scheme as a reference tool that provides legal fact is much misunderstood.

Just how can it be implemented and how much additional work is required to be done to turn the LGCRS into a bespoke retention schedule?

Can it be used by every organisation to provide a basis on which to build their records management programme?

This session is not only for public sector members as it discusses practical issues regarding the implementation of records retention in all organisations and provides examples of how the concept has been implemented within both sectors.

The topics that will be covered by the two speakers over the hour session will include:

The LGCRS and its purpose
Using the available tools to create a local government retention schedule with emphasis on the LGCRS
The Legal Research
Records Retention Development
Implementation Programme
Summary case studies
