What does the Records Retention & Disposal Schedule cover?
The Records Retention & Disposal Schedule provides generic guidance on retention of records which are commonly generated in the course of: • core work • developing relationships with stakeholders • the management of the institutions themselves as corporate bodies It covers key groups of records generated by the common business functions and business activities. In the case of the University these will include Student Records, Financial Records, Personnel Records, Health & Safety Records, etc. The Schedule being used for Records Management at the University is based on research and consultation with a wide range of institutions. However, it is not intended to be either totally prescriptive or exhaustive. A certain amount of individual judgement will still have to be made in dealing with some records.
