Guest Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Sorry if this has been asked before [even by me!] but for the life of me I can't find references to which documents etc should be kept for what length of time. Things like children's personal records, registers, accident books, incidents etc. I know some of these things are only advisory, but I feel I need to have some sort of checklist where all the guidleines are in one place, if you see what I mean.

Guest Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Thanks for that Debs, very useful. Also a tip I gained from this wonderful site. How to archive records. Box them up in years not by subject. When I read this I thought, now why didn't I think of that before, how much easier this would be. Previously I had a box for accounts, box for registers, box for accident books etc etc. If I'd done it by year, I'd only have 5 boxes.

Smiles Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Great tip Peggy, I have so many files etc will go with this tip and reduce the storage space needed. Thanks Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicki-k Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 That's really useful. (another job for the summer holidays ) I am going to do what Peggy has suggested. Can records be kept in a loft at home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Thats useful Deb. What area are you need? Chair of the playgroup committee might dismiss stuff if she doesnt know where it's from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
