Disclosure Business Process
Dealing with disclosure varies depending on your agency’s business process.
Here's an example of a disclosure business process:
-
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.
-
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.
-
Redaction is applied to documents to prevent sensitive material being released where this material could have adverse consequences.
-
Each document being disclosed is attached to all disclosure indexes for the case.
-
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.
