Storm Dave brings disruptive and potentially damaging winds across Scotland, with the MET office issuing yellow and amber warnings through Saturday into Easter Sunday morning and across the weekend.  Peak gusts of 50-60 mph will be possible fairly widely, with 60-70 mph in more exposed areas. There is a slight chance of even stronger gusts of 80-90 mph in such exposed areas for a time. Please take care. and refer to our guidance on preparing for storms. We recommend woodland managers and owners read the Scottish Windblow Contingency Plan, while guidance is also available on managing storm damaged trees.

Records management and data transparency

Our first Records Management Policy is an important step in outlining our approach to create and manage our information and records. 
 

Managing information safely and effectively

It'll help inform our stakeholders about how we'll manage information safely and effectively, as well as fulfil our obligations under the Public Records (Scotland) Act 2011.

Records Management Policy

As we implement this policy, we'll ensure that:

  • our information and records are appropriately ordered, annotated and readily accessible
  • items stored are current, relevant and consistent
  • we only hold information and records while there is an operational or legislative requirement for us to do so

Where appropriate, records deemed to be of historical value will be permanently preserved, and transferred to the National Records for Scotland, who will hold this information on our behalf.
