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.  The Overarching Protocol was subsequently reviewed and updated at the end of 2011. Since then the following organisations have also signed up to the Overarching Information Sharing Protocol:

• NHS Lambeth
• South London and Maudsley NHS Trust
• Lambeth Council
• British Transport Police
• Transport for London
• Lambeth Victim Support
• Prison Service (HMP Brixton)
• Lambeth Refuge
• London Community Foundation
• SOLACE Women's Aid
• London Probation Trust
• Peabody Housing Association

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.
