Information Governance
Information is one of the Trust’s most important assets and, just like our staff, our buildings and our equipment, needs to be carefully managed and looked after.
“Information Governance” is a term which describes the Trust’s strategy for meeting all of its regulatory and business requirements around managing information.
Good Information Governance means that information will be:
- Available when we need it
- Of sufficient quality to inform the decisions that we take and to understand the decisions that we have taken
- Handled securely, to ensure that access is only granted to those individuals with a lawful entitlement
The Trust also recognises and actively seeks to uphold the rights of individuals to access information held by the Trust.
