Sharing Health Information with Children’s Social Care and Partner Agencies - Best Practice Guidance for Health Staff

Health practitioners are to share information and explain its significance with multi-agency partners, including at the following meetings:

• Strategy Discussions;
• Child Protection Conferences;
• Core Group meetings;
• Child in Need meetings;
• Early Help meetings;
• Review of Arrangement Meetings for children in care.

The plans supporting children and young people should be built on a robust understanding of health needs. Sharing health information enables discussion and triangulation of information from parents and carers.
