The Corporate Information Management Unit

The Corporate Information Management Unit (CIMU) operates a records management service for the County Council. This involves the storage, management and retrieval of files on behalf of all Council employees, and guidance on how to look after electronic records. As well as three secure storage rooms, the unit has links with an offsite storage company, where boxes are stored which need to be kept for a longer period of time. The unit is responsible for the Council's Disposal Schedule, ensuring that the right information is kept in the right place for the right length of time. CIMU is also the coordinator for Information Legislation requests, including Freedom of Information and Data Protection.

While we are happy to answer any general enquiries on any of these areas, CIMU is primarily a service for internal County Council staff so we are unable to receive any outside visitors.
