A Data and Information Sharing Guide (Infographic) — For Regulation and Policy Organisations

Use this summary if you set information-sharing policy or regulation and need a concise view of how those frameworks meet frontline reality. This one-page version of the regulation and policy guide distils how existing tools, national guidance and governance interact, and identifies where promoting what works, adapting resources and monitoring impact would help practitioners share appropriately and efficiently. It draws on the project’s evidence across the legal, cultural and technical barriers to information sharing about care-experienced children and young people. Use its reflection questions to inform policy and regulatory conversations, building on the principle that effective information sharing depends on how policy meets the realities of practice.

 

This resource was produced by Urban Foresight as part of the Information Sharing Project, in collaboration with Data for Children Collaborative and The Promise Scotland. The project explored the legal, cultural and technical barriers to information sharing relating to care-experienced children, young people and their families across public sector agencies and organisations in Scotland.
