Information Governance
We provide training across the whole range of Information Governance, for all Information Governance professionals, Caldicott Guardians, FOI and DPA Leads, Records Managers and those involved in all aspects of information governance.
Information Governance for the NHS is defined as:
“the structures, policies and practice of the healthcare industry, the DH, the NHS, the Independent sector and its suppliers to ensure the confidentiality and security of all records, and especially patient records, and to enable the ethical use of them for the benefit of individual patients and the public good”
Connecting for Health 2006
The same principles apply for the remainder of the public sector.
Information Governance covers several areas:
- Confidentiality
- Freedom of Information

On the IG4U pages we will be setting out all the information governance networks in the UK.
