Information sharing tool box

Effective multi-agency information sharing is essential to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children It enables the early identification of emerging concerns, supports timely escalation where there is a risk of significant harm, and ensures that no single agency is required to make decisions in isolation.

Introducing the Tool Box

When you’re managing a safeguarding concern, we know that making decisions about when, how and why to share information, can present real challenges. 

We've developed this Tool Box to help make some of that decision making a little bit easier. The Introduction will explain how to use the Tool Box and its relevance to your work as a practitioner. This should be read first.

Throughout the Tool Box we will guide you through your decision making, sign post you to further information and provide opportunities for you to explore and practice your skills in information sharing.
