2.1 Procedures followed to dispose of Records

To ensure effective management of active records, records that are not in active use are disposed off or closed.

Destruction is always a last resort to be authorized by law, statute, regulation, or operating procedure according to the policy of the originating body, (Chell, 2016).  Records should never simply be discarded as refuse.
