Who ensures records custodians attend record management training?

The role of ensuring records custodians attend record management training is typically assigned to the Records Custodian, often referred to as the RC. The Records Custodian is responsible for managing records within their specific area and plays a critical part in maintaining compliance with the Air Force Records Management Program. This includes ensuring that all appointed records custodians participate in necessary training sessions to effectively manage records according to prescribed policies and procedures.

This training equips custodians with the knowledge they need to handle records properly, understand their responsibilities, and comply with regulations. By attending this training, records custodians can stay informed about the latest best practices and requirements for records management within the Air Force.

While other roles, such as the Farm or RM, may have broader responsibilities related to records management oversight or overall program administration, it is specifically the responsibility of the Records Custodian to ensure that their team is trained effectively in these matters.
