The aim of this briefing is to allow teams to explore key principles of information sharing which should be applied in practice, both when passing information to other practitioners, and when they receive requests to share information.
Briefing objectives
Working through this briefing will support teams to:
- understand how much information to share with others, and when and how to share it.
Team activities
Elect a member of the team and ask them to share a recent, full and detailed scenario of a case where they were concerned for the welfare of a child.
As a group, using Golden Rule Number Six, agree (if you were sharing information) how you would ensure that it was ‘necessary, proportionate for the intended purpose, relevant, adequate and accurate’ to share information.
- What is your one takeaway from this team exercise?
Use this team briefing as part of an ongoing programme of team development.
All team briefings are linked to a range of resources which are focused on supporting practitioners to deliver positive outcomes for children.
