| Event Name: | Records Management Complying with the S46 FOI Code |
| Description: | A workshop examining the Records Management Code of Practice under section 46 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000
The Information Commissioner has issued his first practice recommendation in relation to the ‘records management code’ for an organisation failing to meet the requirements of the code which have been published for a number of years. The code of practice relates to all records in a public sector organisation including e-mails and electronic records. This workshop examines the requirements of the code and how to apply those requirements in a public sector organisation. It is packed full of practical advice and tips on how to achieve compliance and sustain that compliance within a public sector organisation. This workshop is suitable for all those who are responsible for ensuring compliance with FOI and need to advise within an organisation on how that compliance can be achieved.
STOP PRESS We will also look at the draft revised code of practice (which has completed its consultation period) which will come into force very soon.
