Information sharing

Information sharing

The council may share information when it is in the best interests of the data subject and when failure to share information may carry risks to vulnerable groups and/or individuals. This must be done in a secure and appropriate manner. The council will be transparent and as open as possible about how and with whom data is shared; with what authority; and for what purpose; and with what protections and safeguards.

When information is shared with other organisations or partners, a specific information sharing agreement should be put in place and signed by all parties. Responsibility for its implementation lies with the Information Asset Owner. To learn more about information sharing you can visit our information sharing page.
