Publication Scheme Section 8 - Records Management

Records are one of the Council’s most vital assets. They support decision making, document activities, provide evidence of policies, decisions and transactions, and underpin the daily work of the Council.

To ensure that records are managed properly, the Council aims to conform to the Code of Practice on Records Management which has been issued by Ministers in accordance with Section 61 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 and has adopted a Records Policy, Records Strategy and a Record Retention and Disposal Schedule detailing how it intends to manage its records.  This details the Council’s commitment to ensuring that records are accurate and reliable, can be retrieved easily and are kept for no longer than is absolutely necessary.
