Guidance and forms for practitioners involved in the sensitivity review and transfer of public records to The National Archives and other archives services.
This toolkit has been produced to provide guidance on editing exempt material from information held by public bodies. Its purpose is to promote good records management practice across the public sector and to assist in the implementation of the Freedom of Information Act.
Government departments preparing records for transfer to The National Archives should review the access requirements of those records in order to identify material that: should be retained, should be transferred to The National Archives as closed, or as open.
