Records Management

All staff

All staff have a responsibility to comply with data protection, freedom of information and records management requirements.

Whatever your role at the University of Edinburgh, freedom of information, data protection and records management affect you and how you do your job.

For example:

  • you may need to handle information about an individual
  • you may need to know what to do when someone asks for information or
  • you may be asked to organise information in line with records management best practice so your team can find specific information quickly.
