Departmental Disability Liaison Officers retention schedule

This schedule covers records kept by staff in all departments who have the role of Departmental Disability Liaison Officer. It does not cover any other records that you keep for your main, salaried role.

Schedule coverage

All records – paper, electronic and e-mail – are covered by this schedule. Retention is based on the content of the record, not its format.

Destroying records

Confidential records should always be destroyed securely. Paper records should be shredded. Care should be taken to ensure electronic records are deleted from all areas. Please see the guidance on destruction of email.

Abbreviations

  • TofR = termination of relationship. (When the student graduates, permanently withdraws or otherwise leaves)
    CAY = Current academic year
  • A plus sign and a number shows how many years after an event a record should be kept. TofR +6 means a document is kept for 6 more years after termination of relationship.
