All hard copy items are kept locked in offices with controlled access.  Archive material is kept in our designated archive room.  This room is kept locked with controlled access by only HR or Senior Management personnel.  The room has a log which must be filled in when it is accessed.

 

Digital material is held on either desktop or laptop systems which are stored in offices.  The servers are located on the 1st floor.  Access to the servers is restricted to authorised personnel.  This space also requires a log to be filled in when accessed.

 

Retention

All hard copy or digital media is retained as per British Standards or other regulatory guidelines.  Information is held no longer than necessary; once information is no longer required it is either shredded on site or sent to a authorised site for secure disposal.

 

The below table is a guideline to Company retention held in any format (i.e. Paper/Digital).  Files are to be reviewed on a regular basis and information destroyed/deleted as per guidelines.  Destruction/deletion should be logged with documentation signed off by the HR Manager.  The HR Manager should keep Senior Management updated on the review and destruction/deletion of material at Management Board meetings.  This procedure will become part of the Company Audit process.
