This toolkit provides essential guidance for Family Hubs navigating multi-agency data sharing. Drawing on research, real-world case studies, and expert resources, it equips practitioners and leaders with the knowledge to share information effectively while protecting family privacy and building trust.
Explore the foundations of effective data governance—from understanding legal frameworks under UK GDPR to implementing proportionate sharing practices. Learn how to create robust Information Sharing Agreements, develop tiered access systems, and engage families as active partners in decisions about their data.
Discover proven practice through case studies including Torbay Council's transition to a centralised platform, Lancashire's data mapping approach, and examples from trailblazer authorities. The resource section directs you to key tools including the Government's Data Sharing Governance Framework, ICO guidance on children's data, and Local Government Association implementation strategies.
This toolkit addresses critical questions: How do we share enough to provide joined-up support without compromising privacy? How do we build systems that staff can actually use? And how do we ensure families understand and trust how their information is handled?
