Information Sharing
Information sharing remains a consistent theme from practice reviews. The collection and sharing of personal information is not forbidden by the Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR. However, these laws provide a framework to ensure that personal information is shared appropriately. This means that personal information should be shared only when there is a lawful basis, a clear purpose, and adequate safeguards to protect the rights and interests of the individuals concerned. Learn more about how to apply them in practice using the briefings below.
