Records management

Five key points

Good records management practice:

  1. Helps you to do your job better: it supports ease and efficiency of working because you can find the information you need, when you need it.
  2. Protects you and the University: it provides evidence of people's rights and entitlements, and shows what the University did and why it did it.
  3. Saves you time by ensuring you can find the information you need easily
  4. Reduces costs, particularly space costs, by ensuring you don't keep any more records than you have to, and that you know when you can delete or destroy them
  5. Gives you records you can rely on, both by helping you to find the appropriate version and, by giving records a high value as evidence if they are needed in a court of law.
