A new document sets out best practice on what paper and digital records your church should keep, for how long, and which can be disposed of or archived.
It’s called the ‘record retention schedule’ and there is an accompanying guide, ‘How to complete a record-keeping review’, below.
Together, these documents replace ‘Keep Or Bin’ and similar guidance that was available in the past, as this had become out of date and didn’t cover all current record types.
The new guidance can help you more easily comply with legal, contractual, GDPR and safeguarding requirements, and care for records of historical value.
