Inter-agency information sharing

While the information on this page is not restricted in any way, it is aimed primarily at Multi-agency childcare support workers and other practitioners that are involved in supporting vulnerable children and young people. Members of the public should decide whether or not the information is relevant to their needs.​

We have produced an information sharing protocol. This clarifies and specifies how and when information about individual children will be shared. The Swindon Children's Trust Board are the owners and custodians of this information.
