Records & Information Management Service (RIMS)
RIMS provides generic and bespoke guidance on management issues related to all formats of record.
A record is a physical or electronic document that provides evidence of business activity. Every University staff member manages records to some extent. Your department might deal with, among other types, administrative, fiscal, legal or research records.
The appropriate management of information is essential for efficient administration, effective corporate governance and compliance with external and legal requirements.
Our remit covers all range of records and information management topics.
Records retention schedules
A records retention schedule is key to successful records management.
The retention schedule is a tool that tells you how long to keep your records, and what to do with them when they are no longer needed in the office.
