COPFS is committed to the effective management of all records throughout their lifecycle, from creation and receipt through to retention, archiving and secure disposal, in accordance with legislative requirements and recognised best practice.
The Public Records (Scotland) Act 2011 requires Scottish public authorities to maintain proper arrangements for the management of public records and to operate in accordance with an agreed Records Management Plan.
The purpose of this policy is to establish a framework for the creation, management, storage, retention and disposal of records held by COPFS and to ensure that records are managed consistently across the organisation.
