Share your views: Information sharing deep-dive
This message is being shared on behalf of colleagues in Bolton Safeguarding Children Partnership
Dear Colleague
Can you help improve information sharing in Bolton?
Bolton Safeguarding Children Partnership (BSCP) are seeking the views of practitioners to ensure this is a collaborative approach. BSCP will use the feedback to better understand our local barriers and identify solutions to strengthen multi-agency information sharing; ensure action is taken to respond to local findings and share what they have done across the partnership. BSCP want to know more about the effectiveness of current information sharing arrangements across the partnership and the challenges faced by practitioners and managers. Please see the attached document for more information including case studies of recent Rapid Reviews following the deaths of 2 children in Bolton.
Local multi-agency reviews have consistently identified that sharing and making sense of information about the needs and risks for children and their families can be a challenge. Recent Rapid Reviews have identified when information is not shared and used effectively, it can lead to: -
- Incomplete or flawed assessments and assumptions
- Misunderstanding of child’s needs or risk
- Lack of co-ordination, duplication or at worst contradiction
- Ineffective practitioner relationships/silo working
This is the first stage of ‘deep-dive’ on this theme, and BSCP are keen to hear your thoughts and practice experiences so that the early years and childcare sector is fully represented.
