Information sharing protocols - I love 'em! Offenders will normally be attending such teaching sessions as part of their order from the court, so the probation service needs to know if they have attended. We also have national targets aimed at improving offenders' basic skills levels, so we need to know if they are making progress. If Joe takes it easy at the back of the class every week and plays games on his mobile then, in an extreme example, he may be breached and taken back to court. Offenders know this when they agree to do such courses. The exchange of information between college and probation service is an intrinsic part of the arrangement. The protocol/ consent form is there to clarify exactly what information you will be sharing with the probation service so each side (probation and service provider) knows what is expected of them.

They have now asked that we sign an Information Sharing Consent Form. This commits us to sharing information with the National Probation Service Humberside regarding attendance and progress. Does it cut across any data protection issues? I am aware that other local providers have signed the Consent form. I would welcome your advice.
