Click on the link for the CSA Records Management Policy, endorsed by the Board of the Agency in 2006. Note that the following clause is now included in the Employment Contracts of all employees:

As an employee of the Agency you are responsible for all records you hold, create or use as part of the business within the Agency including patient/client, corporate and administrative records whether paper-based or electronic and also including e-mails. All such records are public records and are accessible to the general public, with limited exemptions, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 and the Data Protection Act 1998. As an employee you are required to be conversant with the Agency's policy and procedures on records management and to seek advice if in doubt.
