Don’t Risk It! Know Your Records launched in 2014.

Its overall goal is to entrench good records management practice in
organisations across the public, private and voluntary sectors in order
to reduce operational, financial and reputation risk. The campaign
was in response to extensive empirical and anecdotal evidence that
organisations were ignoring such risks (and the opportunities that would
flow from good practice).

Initially, Don’t Risk It! Know Your Records benefitted from sponsorship
from KPMG and Preservica to sensitise senior managers to the existence
of the campaign. The second phase – focusing on internal advocacy and       Remember: you can organise activities using the
developing skills in risk management - began in the autumn of 2016 and           campaign branding and toolkits at
has just drawn to a close. We are now beginning to look at a third phase
of support to records managers.                                                     ANY TIME OF THE YEAR.
