Information and Records Retention Schedules help us to:
- improve efficiency within Faculties and Directorates, and create better working practices
- be able to retrieve records more easily and speedily, by knowing where they are, and who keeps them
- eliminate some duplication of records, and effort, around the university
- save space
- aid cost-saving, both in terms of space, and of effort
- be able to comply more readily with requests for information, both internally and externally
Retention periods have been chosen using the following means:
- Records Retention Management: guidance and retention schedules for information held in higher and further education institutions compiled by
- Regulatory and legislative recommendations, or business good practice recommendations
- Staff and student obligations and requirements
- Risk assessment involved in retention periods
- Retention periods used by other universities
