Information Sharing Guidance

What Is This Guidance For?

The aim of this guidance, and associated materials, is to support good practice in information sharing by offering clarity on when and how information can be shared legally and professionally, in order to achieve improved outcomes.

This guidance will be especially useful to support early intervention and preventative work where decisions about information sharing may be less clear than in safeguarding or child protection situations.

Who Is This Guidance For?

This guidance is for practitioners who have to make decisions about sharing personal information on a case-by-case basis, whether they are:
  • working in the public, private or voluntary sectors.
  • providing services to children, young people, adults and/or families.
  • working as an employee, a contractor or a volunteer.

This includes front-line staff working in health, education, schools, social care, youth work, early years, family support, offending and criminal justice, police, advisory and support services, and culture and leisure.

This guidance is also for managers and advisors who support these practitioners in their decision making and for others with responsibility for information governance.
