Record policy - UK
What are the realistic risks to an organisation who dont have a records management policy and information classifacation policy? And on the flipside what are the benefits to an organisation to have such policies?
In the UK now their is a drive to have such policy for freedom of information legislation, but I dont really see how the 2 link together. FOI is basically where member of public requests informationm about the company and the company has to respond within 20 days. So where does not having a records management policy affect that and hamper the ability to respond in 20 days, and same for information classifacation, what does having such a policy help in the way of FOI, and what does not having such a policy affect in being able to respond in 20 days.

It did involve the data protection act, the bit about the comments against customers' records.
The latter bit about proving compliance might be more relevant to you. It certainly has relevance with health and safety and with liability insurance and so I can imagine soomething similar is in place over records policies. This can include records of staff training and qualifications. All very necessary if you use the services of another company.
