Hi,
I hope someone can help me.
Data is collected on all newborn babies and provided by midwives and hospitals to the Child Health systems in each local authority area. This data belongs to the PCT, although it is provided by the Healthcare Trust. We have a multi-agency Children and Young People's Service, and the Healthcare Trust staff who input data and manage the Child Health System, are managed by a Council Manager, in a Council building.
We want to use some of the data on newborn babies to give to our Children's Centres so that they might target them to visit and invite them to use the Centres.
The information they wish to share is personal, but NOT sensitive, so it is necessary to provide a reason from Schedule 2. The Children's Centres would like to visit/contact every family to offer services, and are therefore reluctant to use Consent as the relevant condition (although I would recommend this). Can we use Condition 6, or does part 2 apply equally - e.g. this is just for the Secretary of State? I'm also not sure if we could apply Condition 4 - protection of the vital interests, although this may be possible as Children's Centres can provide services which will improve the child's quality of life (and provide a safeguarding function under Integrated Working).
I'd be interested to hear other people's thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Michelle Peel
