1. Progress Update Reviews (PUR)

Progress Update Reviews (PUR) are optional and allow named authorities to submit an update to the Public Records (Scotland) Act 2011 (PRSA) Implementation Team. They support the implementation of PRSA which promotes efficient and accountable record keeping by named Scottish public authorities.  Visit the National Records of Scotland (NRS) website for up to date guidance on PURs. You can read more about the role of the PRSA Implementation Team on the National Records of Scotland website.

Please do not send evidence along with the PUR as it will not be considered.

Each Element is given a Red — Amber — Green (RAG) status rating as follows:

RAG status rating: Red

There is a serious gap in provision for this element with no clear explanation of how this will be addressed. If this were an RMP the Keeper may choose to return it, without agreement, on this basis.

RAG status rating: Amber

If this were an RMP the Keeper would consider agreeing this element under an ‘improvement model’. This means that the Authority demonstrates an ongoing commitment to closing a gap in provision.

RAG status rating: Green

If this were an RMP the Keeper would consider agreeing this element of an authority’s RMP.

The PRSA Implementation Team’s review of the completed PUR template does not change the formal RAG status of an authority’s agreed RMP Assessment Report.
