Children Act. 1989 (child protection) thresholds do not determinate whether or not consent should be sought within MASH. i) The administration of justice; ii) Maintaining public safety; iii) The apprehension of offenders; iv) The prevention of crime and disorder; v) The detection of crime; vi) The protection of vulnerable members of the community. When judging the public interest, it is necessary to consider the following: i) Is the intended disclosure proportionate2 to the intended aim? ii) What is the vulnerability of those who are at risk? iii) What is the impact of disclosure likely to be on the individual? iv) Is there another equally effective means of achieving the same aim? v) Is the disclosure necessary to prevent or detect crime and uphold the rights and freedoms of the public; vi) Is it necessary to disclose the information, to protect other vulnerable people? 2 “Proportionate” is the critical issue. As previously stated a proportionality test must be applied to ensure that a fair balance is achieved between the public interest and the rights of the data subject. Information is shared initially within the MASH with or without consent in order to assess risk and harm which in turn identifies the proportionate level of response required. Once a decision is made by the Local authority decision-maker based on this shared information picture they, together with the relevant partner may hold back, within the MASH, any information which is deemed by the originating organisation to be too confidential for wider dissemination. When overriding the duty of confidentiality the MASH must seek the views of the organisation that holds the duty of confidentiality and take into account their views in relation to breaching confidentiality. The organisation may wish to seek legal advice if time permits. The MASH processes if followed correctly are relevant in relation to the determination of consent. The MASH is a relatively closed and controlled environment and this is one factor a practitioner can consider when determining what is proportionate to share with or without consent on a case by case basis. It is not however a single overriding reason in the determination of consent. All disclosures must be relevant and proportionate3 to the intended aim of the disclosure. All staff are reminded that information shared within the MASH is done so for specific purposes relating to the safeguarding of children. Any further use of that information, for example use by the police of Loca...
