(Education Sub Committee) 2
3 1. Introduction 1.1 Sandymoor School recognises that sharing information is vital in relation to early intervention when helping students and families who require additional services to achieve positive outcomes in the best interest of the child. This process will reduce the inequalities between disadvantaged young people and others. These services cover a wide range of provision and include such things as: Additional help with learning Specialist health services Support for parents in developing parenting skills Help in moving away from criminal behaviour Help in moving away from anti-social behaviour 1.2 As local areas move towards integrated Children s Services, professional and positive sharing of information has even greater importance in realising the potential of these new arrangements to deliver benefits to young people and families. 1.3 Sandymoor School recognises that information sharing is also a significant factor in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people. Failure to share and record information and to clearly understand the significance of the information shared can lead to a breakdown in taking appropriate action in relation to known or suspected cases. 1.4 Sandymoor School will explain to families and the student how and why information may be shared and will seek their advanced approval. The exception to this would be if the student would be at increased risk of significant harm. 1.5 The Principal is to be informed with regards to sensitive student issues and will make a decision with regards to whom the information is to be shared with. 2. Government General Principles and Guidelines 2.1 To ensure information is correctly and appropriately shared Sandymoor School will adopt the following government general principles and guidelines. The safety and welfare of a student or young person must be the first consideration when making decisions about sharing information about them. There must be a legal basis for sharing information and a legitimate purpose for doing so. 2.2 When dealing with confidential information you will need to be satisfied that there is either 3
4 - a statutory obligation to disclose or - express or implied consent from the persons involved or - an overriding public interest in disclosing information. 2.3 You must consider the significance, or the potential significance of the information you hold. The information you share should be relevant to the purpose for which you are sharing it and you should only share information with those practitioners or agencies that need to know. 2.4 You should be open and honest with children, young people and their families about the reasons why information needs to be shared and why particular actions need to be taken, unless to do so would adversely affect the purpose for which the information is to be shared. 2.5 You should gain consent to share information unless it is not safe or possible to do so, or if it would undermine the prevention or detection of a crime. 2.6 Information should be accurate, held securely and kept for no longer than necessary. Whenever information is shared, with or without consent, the information shared, when, with whom and for what purpose, should be recorded. Similarly, if a decision is taken not to share information, this should also be recorded. 3. Approach to Seeking or Sharing Information 3.1 In most situations Sandymoor School staff will need to make a professional judgment in relation to seeking or sharing information. This must be done within Sandymoor School guidelines/code of conduct and must recognise the law in relation to sharing information. 3.2 The law states that information may be disclosed with consent. However, in deciding to share confidential information without consent a professional judgement needs to be taken as to whether the individual s and public interest is served in sharing the information. 3.3 Sandymoor School works with a wide range of agencies and will at times include them in consultation to support work with SEN students. These include; Health Early Years and Childcare Social care Youth Offending Police 4
5 Leisure Advisory and support services Private and voluntary agencies 3.4 Sandymoor School will adopt a Code of Practice (this document) following the guidelines below: Only share information that is necessary for the purpose for which it is being shared Only share the information with the person or persons who need to know Only share information with relevant support organisations Ensure that any information is accurate and up to date Ensure any information shared is done using a secure method Establish how the information is to be used Establish if the recipient intends to pass this information on to others Clearly identify what limitations if any have been consented Inform the individual to whom the information relates Inform parents/guardians Maintain up to date records when sharing information Ensure that recordings are in accordance with the Data Sharing Act Professional Judgement 4.1 Sandymoor School recognises that most decisions to share information require the exercising of professional judgement. If there is any doubt about the correct procedure or if information should or should not be shared, the person about to share the information should check with the designated Safeguarding/ Child Protection Lead and/or the SENCO as appropriate. 4.2 This policy should be read in conjunction with the advice on sharing information in the Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy. 5
6 4.3 Sharing information is required to ensure that the pupil receives the appropriate support and is provided with the highest standards and most relevant type of education. 4.4 Information should also be shared to safeguard and promote the welfare of young people and children, by protecting them from maltreatment, preventing impairment of their health or development, or ensuring they grow up in circumstances constant with the provision of safe and effective care. 4.5 In addition information should be shared to prevent young people and children from committing crime. 5. Sharing Information with Parents 5.1 Sandymoor School aims to keep parents and carers informed of what is happening at the school with regard to their child s progress, attendance, behaviour and special needs. In addition to the general information about Sandymoor School s calendar and organisation they will receive; Regular Electronic Messaging via the text messaging and communication system Regular seminars with parents to align the school s practice to parental expectation. Regular progress reports throughout the academic year An initial Tutor based Parents Evening in the first half-term, followed by a full Parents Evening later in the year A half-termly Parents Association meeting in which there is a dialogue between staff and parents on important issues 5.2 Parents and carers can also contact Sandymoor School with requests for further information. 6. The Common Assessment Framework (CAF) 6.1 Sandymoor School will ensure current arrangements are effective in identifying children or young people in need of support. This would include emerging emotional distress and health needs. These arrangements will be set up in a sensitive way that ensures confidentiality for the child, young person and family and could include: Ensuring that every member of staff is clear on their role in the early identification of emerging needs, and knows where they can get support e.g. from a local multi-agency team 6
7 Setting up drop-in provision Participating in a locally convened multi-agency panel who take the decision as to when to undertake a CAF and who leads. 6.2 Sandymoor School will ensure that all staff are made aware of, understand and are carrying out their responsibilities in line with professional standards and current child-related legislation with regard to identifying pupil needs, in particular child protection, special educational needs and disabilities. 6.3 Staff will be aware that there will be situations that require, for example, an immediate referral to social services rather than a CAF. More information on these procedures is available in Sandymoor School Child Protection Policy. 7. Staff within Sandymoor School setting who might carry out a CAF 7.1 A CAF should be carried out by the person who Sandymoor School considers to be the most appropriate. This person will have undergone local training in CAF procedures. Examples of those known to be undertaking CAFs include pastoral staff, SENCOs (or teaching assistants supporting the SENCO), learning mentors, teachers, the Headteacher and Deputy Headteachers. 7.2 Everyone working with children will know about the CAF and understand who is the most appropriate person within the school to undertake the CAF process. 7.3 Managers of staff carrying out a CAF will also undergo CAF training. 8. Academy governors and the CAF 8.1 School governors now have a statutory responsibility to promote the well-being of Students. They have an important role to support and challenge schools which involves helping to evaluate the school s performance, identifying priorities for improvement and planning effective change. 8.2 Their role is to build the school s capacity to improve the attainment of pupils and to achieve other key outcomes for pupils that bear on achievement. 9. Sharing Information online 9.1 Sandymoor School s will give accessible information and services online for parents and carers, children, young people and adult learners to allow more crossorganisation collaboration to improve personalised support and choice. 9.2 Through the Sandymoor School website & Learning Platform (Office 365), parents and carers will be able to see more about what their children are learning in school, their levels of attainment (including their special educational needs) and their behaviour and attendance records. 7
8 9.3 Sandymoor School will therefore ensure access to this information is password protected and only accessible to parents and carers (or those they nominate to assist them in accessing the information.) 9.4 Education and children s organisations will be expected to collaborate using ICT to provide easy integration of information in support of users needs. However, the technology offers more than access to information. Because it can store personal data securely, it enables public services to offer more integrated support to children and learners. 9.5 Sandymoor School will develop specific information sharing protocols in line with current guidance in respect of sharing online information with other agencies and children s services personnel. 9.6 Every care will be taken to ensure shared information is kept safe and only used for the purposes for which it was intended. 10. Access to Information Matrix 10.1 The following Access to Information Matrix shows suggests what type of information is likely to be shared and with whom. (It is recognised that this list does not contain every type of information or detail the circumstances in which the information could be shared.) 8
