Element (06): Destruction Arrangements
West Lothian Council have contracts in place for the bulk destruction of paper records and IT equipment containing electronic records.
- Restore Data Shred (opens new window) - Provide a confidential shredding service for paper records.
- CCL North Ltd (opens new window) - Provide a secure hardware destruction service (to UK Government standards).
In addition, West Lothian Council uses on site paper/CD/DVD shredders which ensure that paper and optical media are destroyed to European security standards (2 x 15 mm particles).
Standards for records destruction arrangements are built into contracts and agreements with third parties who handle or process records on the council's behalf.
