Staff Training
With the impending 'activation' of the Freedom of Information Act and the anticipated increase in prominence of the requirements of the Data Protection Act, it is vital that staff at all levels are aware of the implications of the legislation on record keeping activities and on record keepers.It is essential that all staff have a level of competency in records management and, an understanding of the legislative environment, which is consistent with their organisational obligations.
A programme of training, assessing and endorsing individual competence helps protect the enterprise from unanticipated requests associated with the legislation, as well as improving staff performance in records management activities and therefore, the efficiency and effectiveness of the organisation as a whole.
