A Week in the Life of an Information and Data Governance Manager at Enfield Council 
Curious what it’s like to be in this role? Here’s a glimpse into a typical week… 
~~Monday~~ 
You kick off the week with a morning check-in with your team. As part of Digital Services, you’re responsible for leading the Council’s approach to information governance, so you review the latest compliance reports and check the status of any ongoing audits. A few departments have flagged overdue updates to their Information Asset Registers, so you send reminders and offer support. 
Mid-morning, you join a cross-departmental meeting to discuss the rollout of a new document management system. You advise on retention schedules and data classification protocols to ensure compliance with GDPR and internal policies. After lunch, you draft updates to the Council’s Data Sharing Agreement template, incorporating feedback from Legal and Cyber Security colleagues. 
You end the day reviewing the latest FOI and SAR requests with your Information Governance Officer, ensuring responses are on track and escalating any complex cases. 
 
~~Tuesday~~ 
Today starts with a Digital Services stand-up. You share progress on the annual Public Services Network (PSN) audit and flag a few areas needing attention before submission. 
Later, you meet with the Council’s Data Protection Officer to discuss a recent data incident. Together, you assess the root cause, draft a response plan, and prepare a briefing for the SIRO. You also liaise with the Cyber Security team to ensure technical controls are aligned with policy. 
In the afternoon, you deliver a training session on information governance for new starters. You enjoy tailoring the content to different services, helping staff understand their responsibilities and how to handle sensitive data securely. 
 
~~Wednesday~~ 
You begin with a review of the Council’s retention schedule. A few services have requested guidance on archiving legacy records, so you consult with Records Management colleagues and prepare tailored advice. 
Midday, you join a pan-London working group on AI data ethics. You share Enfield’s approach to ethical oversight and learn how other boroughs are adapting to emerging technologies. You make a note to update internal guidance to reflect best practice as a result of the collaboration. 
Later, you meet with Procurement to review a new supplier contract. You ensure data ownership clauses are clear and that information governance standards are embedded in the agreement. 
 
~~Thursday~~ 
No stand-up today, so you focus on policy development. You’re revising the Council’s Information Governance Framework, incorporating recent legislative changes and feedback from stakeholders. 
Just before lunch, you have your weekly 1-to-1 with the Head of Project Delivery and Governance. You discuss progress on audits, training delivery, and upcoming workshops. Your manager asks you to lead a briefing for Elected Members next week on data protection responsibilities. 
In the afternoon, you support the Digital Services SMT by preparing evidence of compliance for an internal assurance review. You collate documentation, highlight key risks, and propose mitigation strategies. 
 
~~Friday~~ 
You start the day by finalising your report on last quarter’s information governance performance. It includes metrics on FOI response times, training completion rates, and audit outcomes. 
Mid-morning, you join a webinar on ISO27001 implementation in local government. You take away ideas for strengthening Enfield’s information security posture and plan to share them with the Cyber Security team. 
After lunch, you attend the weekly Digital Services retro and planning meeting. You share highlights from your week and outline priorities for the next. A colleague asks for help reviewing a new AI tool’s data handling practices—you volunteer. 
You end the week by tidying up your notes, following up on emails, and making sure everything’s ready for another busy week.
