Information Sharing Protocols

Lambeth First’s Information Sharing Protocols are a set of standards that our partners have agreed to follow when sharing personal information.  Lambeth’s Overarching Information Sharing Protocol was endorsed by the Lambeth First Performance Board on 17 May 2007.

Since then the following organisations have also signed up to the Overarching Information Sharing Protocol:

• Lambeth PCT
• South London and Maudsley NHS Trust
• Lambeth Fire Service
• Lambeth Council
• British Transport Police
• Lambeth Victim Support
• Lambeth Business against Crime
• Metropolitan Police
• Prison Service (HMP Brixton)
• Lambeth Crime Prevention Trust (“Flipside”)
• London South Bank University
• Lambeth Refuge
• Capital Community Foundation
• Clapham Park Homes
• Hyde Housing Association
• Lambeth Women's Aid

• Mozaic (Womens Well being project)

The Overarching Information Sharing Protocols (Tier 1) apply to all our public, voluntary and independent partners.  They are to be used in conjunction with other existing professional Codes of Practice and general principles and legislative standards that all types of personal information sharing must comply with.

Purpose Specific Information Sharing Agreements (PSISAs) represent Tier 2 of the structure. This section includes existing PSISAs agreed between individual partner organisations, and a template to assist all partners in developing further agreements between themselves.
