In connection with this I recently was an Information Governance Consultant reviewing Information Policy at a Primary Care Trust. This included consulting on an Information Sharing Policy. I found that Torbay was very active in this area. See http://www.torbaychildren.org.uk/index.htm "Developed as part of Torbay's Information Sharing and Assessment programme This website has been developed as a result of the DfES initiative on Information Sharing & Assessment (ISA, which was formerly known as Identification, Referral & Tracking). Although the initial objective was to produce a Service Directory and Glossary of Terms, this website now makes available more information about ISA, and other relevant information to those working with children, young people and their families in Torbay. It also now includes a link to Torbay's new Children and Young People's Plan. Over time it is intended that this website will become the initial access route (portal) to all information relevant to children, young people and their families within Torbay. It is hoped that it will be used by all those people who work with children, young people and their families across all agencies in Torbay, and most importantly, by those children, young people and families themselves."

I have been tasked with creating one specifically for those children and young people in residential homes or fostering placements. I have been given a very short timescale, hence the plead for help!
