How information about you may be shared
Sharing information can help adults notice when something is wrong and when problems are just starting. This could be something like if you were missing school a lot for a particular reason. It could also be when there are bigger problems where you need help straight away, like being in danger from someone you know. It’s also important that everyone shares details when a child might be at risk. This could include a risk of going missing or if there’s a pattern of risky situations involving the same places or people. No one person can know everything about your life, so it’s important for people like teachers, doctors, and social workers to share what they know. By sharing information early, they can understand the situation, and make sure you get the support you need, especially for keeping you safe. Practitioners make sure that information is kept safe and only shared with people who need to see it.
