Information Governance Policy Writers
What are Information Governance Policies?
Information governance policies set out how organisations manage information securely, lawfully and effectively throughout its lifecycle.
Good information governance ensures that data is accurate, accessible, and protected from unauthorised use or loss. A clear policy supports compliance with legal obligations, reduces risk, and promotes responsible handling of both personal and organisational information.
What Do Information Governance Policies Cover?
An information governance policy typically includes:
-
A framework for managing information in line with legal and regulatory requirements
-
Roles and responsibilities of staff, managers and information governance leads
-
Procedures for creating, storing, using, sharing and disposing of information
-
Data quality standards to ensure accuracy and reliability
-
Access control measures and permissions management
-
Compliance with data protection legislation, including UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018
-
Information security measures to protect confidentiality, integrity and availability
-
Training and awareness requirements for staff handling information

A clear policy helps ensure that information is handled in a consistent, secure and transparent way, and that staff understand their responsibilities when working with data.
It also demonstrates compliance with UK data protection legislation, NHS Digital Data Security and Protection Toolkit requirements (for health organisations), and industry best practice standards such as ISO/IEC 27001.
By embedding strong information governance practices, organisations can build trust, improve efficiency, and safeguard sensitive information, while supporting operational and strategic decision-making.
