   Folks,

   The next 'other' request relating the the CRU agreements & data.



   The first part of the query will be answered in line with the answer given to other
   requesters for the agreements.



   In regards the second part, I will need some assistance as noted below



   1. A copy of  policies and procedures regarding employee responsibilities regarding
   entering into confidentiality agreements.

   Steve, do we have any contracting policy on this? Phil - anything with CRU on
   responsibilities regarding entering agreements on behalf of CRU? I don't think we wish to
   state that we don't have any policies or procedures in place, but I'm not sure what to
   actually put here...


   2. A copy of  policies and procedures regarding employee responsibilities regarding the
   preservation of written agreements.

   Ah, records management rears it's head....We have a general statement on our website
   regarding our responsibilities for RM but we do lack any overarching records retention
   schedule or policy - Phil, does CRU have anything in-house?


   3. A copy of  policies and procedures regarding employees entering into verbal agreements.

   See question 1; same issue here although more likely to have a `nil' response here -
   consequences of that?


   4. A copy of instructions to staff regarding compliance with FOI requests.

   We have web guidance that can be referred to, and a brochure that I distribute that could
   go here.... and a statement regarding the training on offer



   Cheers, Dave
