Retention and disposal schedules

Retention and disposal schedules are an important part of the ERM system. They help us decide how long the Agency keeps records created.

All our files, where documents and records are kept, include a disposal schedule. The schedule helps us determine which records are to be kept:

• reviewed after a specified period

• destroyed after a specified period

• kept for permanent preservation.
