MORNING WORKSHOP 2 - Facilitated by Infoshare
0900-1230, Wednesday 25 October 2006
‘An Operational Guide to Data Sharing at the Grass Roots Level’
In the last ten years, Infoshare have found a lot of commonalities between the issues faced by people and organisations in implementing data sharing projects. This half-day training workshop aims to explore data sharing within three specific sectors: police, childrens services and local crime and disorder partnerships. The focus will be on identifying commons pitfalls and problems and how they have been successfully tackled. The objective of the session is to establish a list of practical resolutions to data sharing problems that other practitioners have identified and resolved. Each session will consist of a short presentation followed by an open forum where delegates will be given the opportunity to discuss their own project issues.

UNDERSTANDING WHERE INFORMATION SHARING FITS IN THE LEGAL LANDSCAPE: A STRAIGHTFORWARD GUIDE
Hosted by Rosemary Jay, Partner, Pinsent Masons
Information sharing in the public sector raises different issues from data sharing in the private sector. The IT may be the same but the legal and political landscapes are different.?This course guides participants through the issues, explores where they face common questions and explains how solutions are being proposed.
- Powers of public authorities (common law powers, statute, prerogative powers, the Ram doctrine, vires, ancillary powers). Why do powers matter? (Human Rights Act 1998, Data Protection Act 1998, public law issues)
- Considering whether new powers are needed - understanding the different perspectives, exploring the Ancillary v Explicit debate, and conducting a risk assessment
- Understanding the constraints on sharing (special type of information, obligations of confidentiality, sensitive data)
- Recognising the importance of proportionality and justification
- The importance of assessing the?what, where, how and who of the sharing project
- Considering the private sector viewpoint and the different constraints in the private sector. Review of existing private sector information sharing work, where has it been successful and to what does it owe its success. Exploring the self-regulatory mechanisms. Are there lessons for the public sector?
- Contracts, confidentiality, consumer trust
- Common issues for public and private sectors - security, trust, individual rights
- What is the attitude of Europe, different approaches to the margin of appreciation in different areas
- Where are we now? Exploring the government agenda, recognising the changing political perspective, review of current initiatives, assessing existing tools - Is the DCA Toolkit still the starting point? Considering the approach of the Information Commissioner
