Disclosure Business Process

Dealing with disclosure varies depending on your agency’s business process.

 

Here's an example of a disclosure business process:

  1. Source entities are added to a case file.

    During this process, they can be assessed and marked as either of these options:

    • Excluded – Exempt from the disclosure process.

    • Signed off for disclosure – To be considered for disclosure.

  2. Source entities signed off for disclosure are reviewed by one or more appropriately qualified officers.

    They classify items as either fully disclosable or requiring redaction.

  3. Redaction is applied to documents to prevent sensitive material being released where this material could have adverse consequences.

  4. Each document being disclosed is attached to all disclosure indexes for the case.

  5. When disclosed documents are ready to be delivered to the defence (or another party), you can build a schedule of these documents.

    When a schedule of documents is ready for release, you can print them or generate them as PDFs and deliver them to the defence party.
