Record Keeping Fundamentals

eLearning Course Overview

Recordkeeping in Local Government is more than a legislative requirement — it underpins good governance, informed decision‑making, accountability, transparency and the preservation of local history.

Elected Members have a critical responsibility to create, capture and manage records in the course of performing their functions. When this isn’t done correctly, the risks can be significant.

Record Keeping Fundamentals for Elected Members provides practical guidance to help Elected Members get it right

 A practical, governance‑focused course that supports Elected Members — and makes life easier for governance and records teams.
