For 2011/12 the Department of Health launched in June 2011 Version 9 of the Information Governance Toolkit. This toolkit set out the Information Governance (IG) Training
Requirements for NHS organisations across the financial year (April 2011 - March 2012).The IG training requirement for 2011/12 is unchanged.
Refresh Training: Staff who completed their training during 2010/11 when Version 8 of the toolkit was live or were included in plans submitted as evidence to support Requirement 8-112 at 31 March 2011 (and received training between 1 April 2011 and 30 June 2011) will be required to refresh their learning during the lifetime of Version 9 of the Information Governance Toolkit, i.e. before 31 March 2012. This can be achieved using the Refresh Module available on the toolkit or using materials that cover the same ground that have been reviewed and signed off as fit for purpose by the DH IG Policy team.
Recording progress: A separate guidance note for Information Governance administrators will be published on the IGT website shortly.
