Information sharing
and assessment

Alongside the Common Assessment Framework, all relevant childcare services are expected to operate to an agreed framework for gathering, storing and sharing information with common protocols and data indexes and an accessible service directory.

This course underpins the new approach to joined up working and looks at the key requirement for individual agencies and practitioners and the implications for sharing information. It is suitable for all workers in children’s services and those who work with parents in adult services. It can run as a standalone course or in conjunction with the CAF course.

Learning outcomes cover:

  • Understanding of participants’ responsibilities within the legislation.
  • Knowing when and how to share information within the context of the law and guidance.
  • Familiarisation with the guidance on information sharing and knowing where to access it.
  • Understanding the concept of informed consent and the need for accurate record-keeping.
