I spoke to the DP Co-ordinator in our Social Servies Dept re developing an information sharing protocol for DoH's "Framework for the Assessment of Children in Need and their Families" but we have not begun work on this yet. He will contact you if they However they did ask if anyone has been working on SSD sharing with partners - (???imminent) guidance is expected from Dept of health but seems to be taking long time.
