Cambridgeshire Information Sharing Framework

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To approve the Cambridgeshire Information Sharing Framework.

 

Decisions:

The committee received a report from the Information Manager, regarding the Cambridgeshire Information Sharing Framework.

 

Some members expressed unease about the principle of sharing, but acknowledged that the Council was not able to alter the protocol without the agreement of other partners. It was agreed that there should be an easy and clear process to allow people to opt out of having their data shared. The Information Manager explained that each sharing activity would be subject to a more detailed framework, which would provide these safeguards.

 

Concerns were raised regarding the narrow definition of sensitive personal information. It was noted that the definition was the statutory definition.

 

It was agreed that training was very important, and following discussion it was agreed that the training materials would be circulated to members of the committee, and included on a future Civic Affairs agenda if members wished following circulation of the materials.

 

It was requested that the language on page 249 should be gender neutral.

 

Resolved (Unanimously) 

 

i.        To approve the Cambridgeshire Information Sharing Framework.

         

ii.       That training materials are circulated to all members of the committee, and consideration is given to the training materials being discussed at  a future meeting.
