Data protection and confidentiality

We will comply with our obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018 when dealing with domestic abuse cases. This includes sharing information with statutory agencies, MARAC information sharing arrangements and MARAC operating protocols.

We will share information where we are legally required to do so. All information-sharing decisions will be recorded, including the reasons for that decision.

We will report potentially criminal acts to the police.
