Purpose and Benefits. Research and experience have demonstrated the importance of information sharing across professional boundaries, effective information sharing is key to the delivery of Prevent and Channel panels, so that partners are able to take appropriately informed action. Information viewed alone or in silos may not give the full picture or identify the true risk. All the information from various agencies needs to be available and accessible in one place; to keep vulnerable adults and children safe and assist signatories to this Agreement in discharging their legal obligations and public duties. However, the information sharing must be assessed on a case-by-case basis and is governed by legislation. Prevent is one of four strands of the government’s counter-terrorism strategy. It aims to stop people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. The Prevent Strategy was last revised in 2011, but a number of other advice documents have been published since for each sector. The three areas of focus are to: - respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat from those who promote it - prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure they are given the right advice and support - work with institutions where there are risks of radicalisation that need to be addressed. Prevent work depends on effective partnership. To demonstrate effective compliance with the duty, specified authorities must demonstrate evidence of productive engagement, with local Prevent services, the police and local authorities, and co-ordination through existing multi-agency such as the Community Safety Partnerships. The Prevent Duty will sometimes require the sharing of personal and sensitive information between partners; this is particularly the case where sharing of information will be central to providing the best support to vulnerable individuals and meets the duties outlined in section 26 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 to have in place arrangements for the sharing of information between responsible authorities: Local government; Criminal justice; Education, child care, Health and social care; Police. Some information sharing does not use personal data and is under the duties outlined in the Crime and Disorder Prescribed Descriptions Regulations 2007 (to have in place arrangements for the sharing of information between responsible authorities). The Channel Panel is a multi-agency safeguarding board in respect of Prevent. The potential partners to Channel are ...

Purpose and Benefits. The purpose of this agreement is to provide technical assistance to applicants and participants of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), or other programs administered by NRCS. This assistance is limited to integrated pest and nutrient management planning. Integrated pest management planning involves a system-based decision-making approach that uses biological, cultural, physical, regulatory, and chemical tactics to manage disease, weeds, insects, and other pest problems in the production and maintenance of plants and their health and does so in a way that minimizes risks to human health and the environment. Nutrient management planning is provided for field corn, hay and forage crops and sweet corn when appropriate and/or necessary depending on crop and needs. NRCS is required to provide technical assistance to applicants and participants in EQIP, but does not have sufficient resources or expertise to complete this responsibility. The Agency is qualified and has the necessary resources and program staff to provide the technical assistance services required to plan and implement integrated pest management and nutrient management practices on the lands of participants in NRCS administered programs. This agreement is made pursuant to an MOU with the Agency establishing the basis for such cooperation. Authority to enter into this MOU was established in the Technical Service Provider (TSP) Final Rule, 7 CFR Part 652 published in the Federal Register (vol. 69, No. 228) dated November 29th, 2004.

Purpose and Benefits. Sharing information between partner organisations in an emergency is vital to the provision of coordinated and seamless humanitarian assistance services to support people affected. People affected can include survivors, family/friends of those missing, killed or survivors, witnesses and the affected communities. Sharing can help to meet the requirements of statutory legislation, government guidance, London Resilience Partnership Frameworks such as the Humanitarian Assistance Framework, and local organisational arrangements. These services include activities aimed at addressing the needs of people affected by emergencies in terms of the provision of psychological and social aftercare and support in the short, medium and long term. The types of emergencies which may require these services include (but are not limited to): ● accidents and system failures (e.g. utilities or transport failures) ● human and animal diseases (e.g. flu pandemic) ● societal risks (e.g. public disorder) ● natural hazards (e.g. flooding) ● hostile state activity (e.g. cyber-attacks) ● threats (e.g. terrorist attacks) A full list of risks of emergencies is provided in the London Risk Register. This Data Sharing Agreement (DSA) sets out the overarching information principles between those listed in Appendix A, in sharing data in the event of an emergency or major incident. This DSA aims to: ● Assist in the provision of appropriate and timely assistance to people affected in the short, medium and longer term ● Ensure a seamless approach to the provision of assistance between partner organisations and avoid duplication ● Collate information to enable the identification and prioritisation of those in need of assistance ● Assist in decision making and prioritising resources to assist those most in need This DSA supports a range of London Resilience Partnership frameworks, protocols and capabilities, for example those set out in the Humanitarian Assistance Framework, Recovery Coordination Protocol and Identification of the Vulnerable Guidance. It also supports associated plans which exist beneath these at the Borough/local and organisational level. Decisions must be made quickly in emergency situations, but this does not mean we can ignore our responsibilities for protecting and sharing personal data. Each protection/sharing decision is unique, but the process by which those decisions are made should be established in advance. Plans can be made for how to protect and share data in likely sce...

Purpose and Benefits. Purpose The London Young People Study (LYPS) is a pan-London project being run by the London Violence Reduction Unit and the Association of London Directors of Children's Services, funded by the Youth Endowment Fund (YEF). The program trains workers delivering services to young people (e.g. social workers, youth justice workers, teachers) to deliver high-intensity cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) informed support to young people aged 11-17, across the 32 London boroughs. This support, and the work to make it available, is branded ‘Your Choice’. The programme creates two groups; one where selected young people receive the CBT on top of normal interventions and support; and one with the majority in a control group where only normal interventions are delivered. Through the LYPS, Your Choice is being evaluated in London in order to determine whether the program is effective, and therefore whether it should receive funding to scale-up across the capital and nationwide. The proposed data sharing is in support of this evaluation and is a requirement of the YEF funding. The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) and the Xxxx Xxxxx Centre (AFC) are managing the evaluation and will gather additional data from the young people directly, and from the DfE. We wish to process the data in order to evaluate the Your Choice program. We wish to do this for two reasons: ● Firstly, because youth violence is a serious issue affecting Londoners. Last year 5,864 were victims of the most serious violence and almost one per week was killed1. ● Secondly because there is a lack of evidence today about what works to reduce this violence, and this lack of evidence is preventing us from mobilizing resources and from designing the best services to reduce the problem and its impact. 1 MOPAC (2021) ‘Understanding serious violence amongst young people in London’. Accessible at xxxxx://xxxx.xxxxxx.xxx.xx/dataset/serious-youth-violence. This is a priority for London’s Directors of Children’s Services and the Mayor – not least because of its intersection with other priority issues including poverty, racial inequality, and health inequalities. The output of the study will be answers to the questions 1. Are young people who receive this service more or less likely to experience serious violence than those who do not receive it? 2. Are the young people who receive this more or less likely to experience (positive or negative) criminal justice and education outcomes than those who do not? 3. What k...
