LEGAL CONTEXT OF INFORMATION SHARING Sample Clauses

LEGAL CONTEXT OF INFORMATION SHARING. There is no general statutory power to share information, just as there is no general power to obtain, hold or process data. The Data Protection Act 1998 governs the obtaining, holding and processing of personal information while some Acts of Parliament give public bodies 'express statutory powers' to share information. These are often referred to as 'statutory gateways’ and are enacted to provide for the sharing of information for particular purposes. The statutes are either listed below or in Annex 4. Data Protection Act 1998 This Act deals with the processing of personal (i.e. sensitive and non-sensitive) data. Personal data is data which relates to a living person, including the expression of any opinion or any indication about the intentions in respect of the child or young person is considered personal data. Sensitive personal data is personal data relating to racial or ethnic origin, religious or other similar beliefs, physical or mental health or condition, sexual life, political opinions, membership of a trade union, the commission or alleged commission of any offence, any proceedings for any offence committed or alleged to have been committed, the disposal of proceedings or the sentence of any court in proceedings. Organisations which process personal data must comply with the data protection principles set out in schedule 1 of the Act. Specific legislation containing express powers or which imply powers to share The Children Act 1989 Sections 17 and 47 of the Children Act 1989 place a duty on local authorities to provide services for children in need and make enquiries about any child in their area who they have reason to believe may be at risk of significant harm. Sections 17 and 47 also enable the local authority to request help from other local authorities, education and housing authorities and NHS bodies and places an obligation on these authorities to co-operate. The Act does not require information to be shared in breach of confidence, but an authority should not refuse a request without considering the relative risks of sharing information, if necessary without consent, against the potential risk to a child if information is not shared.

The Human Rights Act 1998 and the European Convention of Human Rights The European Convention on Human Rights has been interpreted to confer positive obligations on public authorities to take reasonable action within their powers (which would include information sharing) to safeguard the Convention rights of children. These rights include Article 8, and recognise a right to respect for private and family life: Common law duty of confidentiality The common law duty of confidentiality requires that unless there is a statutory requirement to use information that has been provided in confidence, it should only be used for purposes that the subject has been informed about and consented to.
