Safeguarding and Information Sharing

The Information Commissioner's Office's recently shared '10 step guide to sharing information to safeguard children', it helpfully states:

 

"Data protection law allows you to share information when required to identify children at risk of harm and to safeguard them from harm. Data protection law doesn’t prevent you from doing this. It simply helps you to share information in a fair, proportionate and lawful way. It can be more harmful not to share information that is needed to protect a child or young person."

 

This guide gives tips about how schools should share information about safeguarding concerns.

 

In addition there has been a recent consultation about revisions to the government's 'Information Sharing Advice for Safeguarding Practitioners.' To find out about this, have a look at our summary here.
