This course is based on the Recordkeeping for Good Governance Toolkit created by the Pacific Region of the International Council on Archives (PARBICA). The course materials are adapted from the original Toolkit to encompass a broader international audience and to include private sector recordkeeping issues. The course is intended for anyone who needs to learn the basic requirements for managing records in government, business or not-for-profit organisations to meet legal obligations and help protect the rights and entitlements of citizens, employees and stakeholders. It specifically aims at the beginner and intermediate levels of participant/practitioner as defined in the ICA Training Programme Subject Matter Framework. The course offers a practical introduction to implementing the main elements of records management. It uses the PARBICA model policy, record plan and disposal schedule as a basis and explains how to tailor them to suit any organisation’s records management needs. Whilst the principles and concepts covered in the course are applicable to digital records, the focus is on paper-based records, particularly in the section on appraisal of non-current records. As a beginner/intermediate level course, the materials do not cover recordkeeping theory, nor do they cover all aspects of setting up, maintaining and implementing records management. The ICA Training Programme is currently developing courses in digital records management and advanced records management.
