To receive a report from the Head of Communities and Governance presenting the Committee with the Data Quality Policy and Data Quality Standards.
Minutes:
The Committee had before it a report * from the Head of Communities and Governance presenting it with the Data Quality Policy and Data Quality Standards.
The Head of Communities and Governance explained that there were six key characteristics that described data quality:
· Accuracy
· Validity
· Reliability
· Timeliness
· Relevance
· Completeness
It was explained that before data was exchanged with a partner, for example, for the Tiverton and Honiton Parliamentary election next year and postal votes, each partner was required to sign a contract in order to comply with public sector network requirements.
It was AGREED that a glossary be appended to the policy when it was next put before Members as this would prove very helpful.
RESOLVED that:
a. The Data Quality Policy and Data Quality Standards be approved; and
b. The policy be reviewed in 4 years time (in line with the corporate policy framework).
(Proposed by the Chairman)
