Report of the Corporate Manager for Business Transformation and Customer Engagement.

The Cabinet were presented a report from Corporate Manager for Business Transformation and Customer Engagement which sought approval for the revised Records Management Policy.

The Cabinet Member for the Working Environment and Support Services noted that there was a new and significant requirement at 2.1 of the report and that it was in accordance with current data protection legislation. It ensured that record handling happened as part of a managed process and would be logged. In July 2022 a new Information Management Team had been created.

RESOLVED: That the revised Records Management Policy be approved.

(Proposed by Cllr C Eginton and seconded by Cllr D Knowles)

Reason for Decision: Not complying with the DPA 2018 and GDPR would expose MDDC to enforcement action by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Approving the Records Management Policy reduces the risk of enforcement action by the ICO. This policy supports good governance arrangements enabling confidence in delivery of the Corporate Plan.
