Outline of Corporate Records and Information Management Programme

The Corporate Records and Information Management Programme forms part of the Records and Information Management Policy and the Records and Information Management Strategy.

The Corporate Records and Information Management Programme aims to set up a programme of work which will ensure a corporate approach to the management of records within Northumberland County Council and to amalgamate the records and processes from the former six district councils within the county of Northumberland.  The programme will be rolled out gradually by service area and will be fully supported by Members and senior management.

The programme will consist of:

• The identification of Records and Information Management Champions within each Directorate and 
      Division.
  
  
• Setting up a Records and Information Management Group to prepare policies and the records
     management work programme.
  
  
• Creating process maps of each business unit.
  
  
• A Survey of records and information that are created and stored within each service area.
     Creating an ‘Information Asset Register’.
  
  
• Appraising records for business, evidential and historical value.
  
  
• Preparing a Retention and Disposal Policy and Schedule for the new unitary authority.
  
  
• Producing a corporate business classification system for the storage and retrieval of records and
     information.
  
  
• Creating a corporate FilePlan for each service area within NCC.
  
  
• Training in Records Management techniques to ensure a corporate approach to the creation, storage
     and disposal of records and information within NCC.
