Common use of Principles of information sharing Clause in Contracts

Principles of information sharing. Effective information sharing is a vital element of the prevention and detection of crime and Anti-Social Behaviour. Organisations can hold different pieces of information which need to be placed together to enable a joined up problem solving approach. To share information, a lawful basis for doing so must be identified. This may come from legislation or from statutory guidance such as Crime and Disorder Act 1998, amongst other relevant legislation, which established the formation of statutory Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRP) in recognition of the idea that crime reduction cannot be the responsibility of one agency, such as the police and should be tackled by a variety of agencies working together in partnership. The sharing of personal data must comply with both the GDPR Principles and the Caldicott Principles, listed at Appendix B. Together, those principles lead to a series of questions and considerations to be answered before sharing takes place. These are listed as an Information Sharing Checklist in Appendix D: Information Sharing Checklist.
