Countywide Processes
Information Sharing – completing the jigsaw
• “Insufficient consideration by lead agencies regarding the use of legislation and statutory powers to support intervention with the young person and provide protection then.”
• “Worked hard within their own sphere, little evidence of co-ordinated action”
• “Teenagers with long standing and complex problems often receive a wide range of different services from different organisations. This can mean that there is no overall picture of the young person’s situation.”
• “Concluded that there was little evidence that agencies worked collaboratively in an organised fashion.”
• “We recognise and accept that better sharing of information would have led to more concerted action to protect the family.”
• “No single agency had a full picture of what was happening in Gemma’s life: there were a number of missed opportunities for initiating safeguarding procedures, assessments or other interventions and for agencies to share information.”
• “There was generally a lack of communication and information sharing between professionals.”
• “There was an inadequate response to the volatile and violent behaviour of the perpetrator with an over reliance on GP treatment and self referral for anger management.”
• Section 115 Crime and Disorder Act provides a legal basis for sharing information between partner agencies where it is necessary for fulfilling the duties contained in the Act.
• Default position should be that relevant information will be shared with the relevant people
• New Information Sharing Agreement drafted and out to consultation
Local Considerations• What are the problem solving processes in the
area?• Who has delegated power to deal with ASB?• Which legal services will you use?• Have you got a case recording/management
system?• What will you do with complaints about non
statutory noise nuisance?• How will enforcement work be done?• Will your MAPS/Hub be the driving force for
interventions?• Will you have to improve support for the victim?• Data sharing is essential, are you prepared?
• Issues with Community Trigger?• What existing orders are in place?• What existing powers do you need to review?• Do you have a list of “positive requirements”?• Do you use warning letters and joint visits?• Do you have a list of diversionary activities?• Have you got a system to assess the risk to
victims?• Have you got good relations with partner
colleagues?• Have you got the right jigsaw pieces for your
area?• Do you know safeguarding procedures?
• What are the opportunities?• What are the risks?• Local delivery with countywide support• Early interventions give a better chance of
success• Quality problem solving at the heart of
tackling ASB• Understanding the needs of the victim and
incorporating them into the solution• Sharing information is critical along with
having confidence in partner agencies• Understanding what and who works in your
area
What Now?• Formal guidance to be considered in each
area and interpretation agreed and understood
• Paperwork and processes shared• Local procedures and clarity must be
developed• It’s down to you to sort your jigsaw!• Reports prepared to ensure all elements of
the legislation can be enacted locally• Countywide group in place to support local
delivery• What information do you want?
