Lambeth's Document Retention and Disposal Standard

The aims of the Guidelines are to:

  • Assist in identifying records that may be worth preserving permanently as part of a local authority’s archives.
  • Prevent the premature destruction of records that need to be retained for a specified period to satisfy legal, financial and other requirements of public administration.
  • Provide consistency for the destruction of those records not required permanently after specified periods.
  • Promote improved Records Management practices within local government.
