Data sharing agreements - developing strong information sharing protocols and governance when working between and across agencies
TUESDAY 10 MAY 2016
BRODIES LLP, CENTRAL ABERDEEN
HALF-DAY TRAINING SEMINAR (PM)
Event Outline
Improved information sharing is vital to Scotland’s public service reform agenda. From service outsourcing to community planning, from integrated children’s services to health and social care partnerships, public services are increasingly being designed and delivered collaboratively by a mix of public, private and third sector partners.
The efficient, safe and reliable sharing of information underpins such initiatives, enabling services to become more coordinated and, as a result, more effective and more responsive to the user need. Given the value of data sharing to the future of public services, good information governance when working between and across agencies has become critical.
This half-day training seminar will provide an opportunity for delegates to review their existing data sharing protocols and consider their approach to future information governance strategies.
With a keynote address and a role-play session led by the Information Commissioner’s Office, participants will be encouraged to explore the design and implementation of data sharing agreements and consider what processes and safeguards can be put in place to ensure good information governance, quality and security.

1450-1540 Role-play session – ‘Creating strong data sharing agreements’
Maureen Falconer, Senior Policy Officer, Information Commissioner’s Office
Led by the ICO, this session will provide delegates with a 360 degree view of the challenges faced when creating data sharing agreements. Participants will be divided into small groups, each representing an organisation involved in the collaborative delivery of a public service.
As discussions evolve within and between the groups, delegates will explore what a potential data sharing agreement might look like and consider the differing information sharing requirements and responsibilities of each organisation – What information should be shared and with whom? For what purpose and under which circumstances will they have access? And what processes and safeguards can be put in place to ensure good information governance, quality and security?
