Information sharing?

• Changes and development of local and national policy and practice around information sharing.
• National policy didn’t come into effect until September 2021.
• Local guidance was created and cascaded in preparation of changes and reflection of vulnerability in the cohort given the pandemic and lockdown.
• You can’t share what you don’t know. Are there vulnerabilities around sharing information between statutory agencies to schools?

Evaluate what you think happened this last academic year - 

• What went well,
• What didn’t go well
• What could be done differently?
• Any other points?
