Communication with other agencies
 |
| Communicating with other agencies who work to protect child welfare is essential to provide the most effective support to children and families who need it. Multi-agency working brings together practitioners with a variety of skills whose roles cross traditional service boundaries. |
|
| Communicating with other agencies requires useful sharing of information, but it is important to protect confidentiality wherever possible, unless it is in the public interest to disclose confidential information. |
|
| Children who are in care are entitled to confidential, effective health care and should be aware of how to access it. |
|
| This section contains information and resources on the most effective way to work with other agencies and guidelines on sharing information responsibly. |
