An introduction to records management principles including the difference between records and documents, how when and where to file your records, retention and disposal and tips for keeping your information secure.

What is records management?

Records management is the systematic control of an organisation’s records throughout their lifecycle, from creation or receipt to disposal or permanent preservation. It involves organising, classifying, storing, securing, and destroying (or archiving) records in line with legal, operational, and historical requirements.

Effective records management ensures that information can be easily retrieved when needed, while also maintaining its integrity, authenticity, and reliability.

Why is records management training and competency important?

Records management is crucial for organizations as it ensures compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of penalties and reputational damage. It enhances operational efficiency by making information readily accessible, saving time and resources in decision-making processes and daily operations.

Effective records management preserves organisational memory, supports business continuity, and provides valuable insights for strategic planning and innovation.

Who benefits from our records management training?

Our records management courses benefit a wide range of professionals, from dedicated records managers and archivists to administrative staff, IT professionals, and department heads responsible for information governance.

These courses are particularly valuable for beginners seeking to establish a strong foundation in records management principles, as well as experienced professionals looking to update their skills and stay current with evolving best practices and technologies.

What our customers say about our records management courses

"Increased by confidence in support clients"

Heather was great and managed to give a lot of information in a fun way. Her love of what she does was infectious, and I found myself more interested in records management than I originally anticipated! And of course, the grand finale – The Song. Just finished the course off in a truly memorable way.
