Sharing Confidential Information
Handling Sensitive Information
In all cases information should be shared on a need to know basis and within the identified reporting procedures. Staff reporting information should restrict the people they share it with to their immediate line manager and or the Designated Officer or statutory services.
Northumberland Sport Information Sharing Procedures
Where appropriate, Northumberland Sport will operate the Information Sharing Protocols shown in Appendix G of our child protection procedures.
Northumberland Sport will share information about alleged incidents involving staff employed by them where it is known or suspected the individual may be working with children in other related environments e.g. other voluntary club settings, other sports or in neighbouring County Sports Partnership areas.
Northumberland Sport will make it a condition of Service Level Agreements, involving the provision or re-directing of funding that any incidents which result in staff or coaches being suspended are reported to Northumberland Sport via the Designated Officer.
Information and records which are passed to the Designated Officer including information which does not result in investigations or disciplinary procedures will be stored in a secure filing cabinet within the CSP central office in accordance with data protection laws and policy of Northumberland County Council.
