This briefing serves as a resource for safeguarding partners, local authorities, and police officers involved in RCRP for children.
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.
This advice is intended for:
- Individuals directly involved in child safeguarding, such as frontline practitioners, managers, and senior leaders.
- Individuals and organizations working with children, parents, carers, and families in sectors like social care, education, health, justice, and the voluntary sector.
- Practitioners working with vulnerable adults and adults who may pose a risk to children may also find this guidance helpful.
