Information Governance (IG) is the practice used by all organisations to ensure that information/data is efficiently managed and that appropriate policies, system processes and effective management accountability provides a robust governance framework for safeguarding information.

The IG handbook is intended to provide information to support and assist staff in meeting their obligations regarding good Information Governance and should be read in conjunction with the Information Governance Code of Conduct and Information Governance & Data Security and Protection Policies.
