Record Keeping Awareness for Elected Members

Overview

Information we receive and share as a Local Government demonstrates the basis for the decisions being made, informs people about what the Local Government has done and helps to build an important local history for the future generations of residents and the community.

Good Recordkeeping ensures accountability and transparency for the Local Government and allows accountability to the community they serve. The role of an Elected Member is an important position that represents the interests and needs of the local community. Elected Members are required to provide leadership and guidance to the community and participate in the decision-making processes of Council.

Records created, received, or sent to Elected Members are a crucial part of the Local Governments business, history, culture and corporate memory. This course will provide you with information about how to ensure you are keeping appropriate records, your responsibilities under the State Records Act 2000 and what types of records you should be keeping.

At the end of this course you will have:

A list of records required to be captured;
Tips for managing social media posts; and
Links to additional information resources

Target Audience
