NSPCC guidelines for the retention, storage and destruction of records related to child protection in England and Wales
Guidance on child protection records retention and storage (England and Wales) (PDF, 152KB)
provides useful guidelines for retention periods, storage and destruction of records where these relate to child welfare concerns or concerns about possible risks posed by employees. Organisations must consider these as part of their safeguarding children policies and procedures.
While clear guidelines exist for statutory and regulated organisations it is often less clear what non-regulated organisations in the voluntary, community or private sectors should do. This guidance has been developed to assist them.
