Who should attend
Organisations today are generating and handling more information than ever before. Yet without a clear strategy for managing that information, how it’s stored, accessed, protected, and eventually disposed of, what should be a valuable asset quickly becomes a costly liability.
This training course from LPC Training is built for professionals who understand that records management is no longer just an administrative task, but a strategic necessity. It provides insights into real-world solutions that can be implemented to create systems that ensure that data is accurate, accessible, and secure throughout its lifetime.
Across five focused days, participants will examine how to design records policies, apply retention rules, lead digitalisation initiatives, and ensure compliance with evolving privacy and data protection laws. The course balances foundational theory with operational realities, so what you learn can be applied immediately.
Whether you’re overseeing a department, planning a digital transition, or building your organisation’s information governance framework from the ground up, this course will give you the insight, confidence, and tools to do it effectively and sustainably.
