RM Tool Kit for Schools
The first review of the Records Management Toolkit for Schools has now been completed and the revised version is available for download free of charge below. A number of corrections have been received since the review was completed. These corrections have been included in this version.The toolkit is available in WORD and portable document format (.pdf). This review has been undertaken with the help of Safeguarding Children colleagues who have guided the Child Protection element of the retention guidelines. We have sought endorsement from the Information Commissioner's Office and DfES and are awaiting their reply.
Whilst every attempt has been to ensure the accuracy of the information contained within the Records Management Toolkit for Schools, if individual schools or LEAs are unsure about retention periods cited in the toolkit they should seek legal opinion from within their own authority.
If anyone has any comments, amendments, alterations or suggestions please contact Elizabeth Barber on elizabeth.barber@kent.gov.uk. It is anticipated that a second review will take place in the autumn of 2006 to ensure that all current child protection developments are included as soon as possible.
