Sharing information about adults and older people in community care settings is crucial for providing effective support, helping us to work across agencies.
Similarly, "Getting it right for every child" (GIRFEC) is a Scottish policy focused on improving the well-being of children and young people by ensuring they receive the right support at the right time. A key aspect of GIRFEC is the responsible and ethical sharing of information between different agencies and professionals who work with children.
The aim of sharing information is to source and provide the right support for people at the right time. However, this sharing of information must be done with careful consideration of your privacy and consent.
