The Trust considered a report that presented the revised Information Sharing Protocol and sought approval of its immediate adoption.

It was noted that changes to the Protocol had been required in order to comply with the Haringey Safeguarding Plan and to reflect new national guidance published by the DCSF. The Guidance note attached had been produced to assist and enable staff to make decisions on a case by case basis.

In response to concern was raised that the Mental Health Trust responded consistently slowly to requests for information the Trust was advised that the Protocol did not address the length of time within which requests should be responded to. However, this was dealt with elsewhere and would be monitored appropriately.

The Chair requested that any instances of poor response times should be reported to chief officers so that the necessary follow up action could be taken.

RESOLVED:
