Now take 15 minutes to explore the following:
- The Information Sharing Guidance
- The LSCP Information Sharing Toolbox
- The Information Commissioners Office Website
Back in group discussion, now consider the questions, ‘how do these resources assist us in keeping children safe and how will we embed them into our practice’?
