How the review proceeds

  1. Share a short inventory of record categories and where they live
  2. We visit or connect remotely to observe handling practices
  3. You receive a findings brief within agreed timelines
  4. We review priorities together and confirm owners for each action

Preparation

Nominate one internal contact who knows where active and archived client files are kept. Arrange access to filing areas and shared folders used for client work.

Constraints

We advise on handling practices and risk reduction; we do not replace your Information Officer or provide litigation defence.

Next step

Request a protection review from the contact page with your practice type and approximate file volume.
