Working together to safeguard people

Information sharing to safeguard children

The Welsh Government has produced this non-statutory guide to remind practitioners working across agencies of their responsibilities to share information to safeguard children and to support them in understanding the conditions under which information may be shared.

This guide does not deal in detail with inter-agency arrangements for sharing personal information between organisations or as part of shared IT systems. However safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and Information Sharing Protocols can assist agencies in this role and in promoting the well-being of people to prevent risk of harm.
