Records Management Workshop

Records should be retained for as long as required to meet the legal, administrative, financial and operational requirements of the University, as recommended by the UL Records Management & Retention Policy (see www.ul.ie/recordsmanagement), after which they must be either destroyed or filed / archived appropriately. 

Good records management practices assist the University in complying with relevant legislation including GDPR / Data Protection legislation.

This two-hour course is highly recommended for all staff who are responsible for management of records within their division/department/unit and will include the following. 

• Creating, storing and using records
• Classification – organising our records
• Retention – how to decide what to keep
• Electronic records and e-mail
