TWS Information Sharing Guidance
The Tyne & Wear Sport partnership has produced some Information Sharing Guidance to help designated staff with their decision making over whether or not to share information should an issue arise about a member of staff. This guidance would apply if information relating to safeguarding/welfare/child protection concerns came to light which may be relevant to another organisation.
The guidance aims to provide a tool to clarify the principles upon which decisions should be made, i.e. to help practitioners with their decision making over whether or not to share information, at what relevant level the information should be shared, how to share it, and with whom (both internally and with external agencies). The guidance will raise awareness of best practice in information sharing and ensure that information sharing practice reflects the framework of legislation and guidance.
