Our organisation is currently looking to bid for the provision of
Obesity Prevention and Weight Management Services covering tiers 1,2 and
3 (which mean nothing to me).
My issue is that the tender requires a Caldicott Guardian to be in
place. I must admit I've never really paid much attention to these
requirements as I've never needed to. My concern is that my Council is
responding 'will have Caldicott Guardian in place if bid is successful'
(as we currently do not require that position) and are probably thinking
they can just dump the work onto me (with my unlimited time and
resources I have at my disposal......). I don't think my Council
understand the nature of the role (nor do I fully but I don't think we
should just be 'winging' it). I have some questions for those that know
these things:
1) Is a Caldicott Guardian required for all three tiers of services?
2) Can the responsibility be contracted out?
3) Does it require specific training/knowledge (above and beyond
general DP knowledge)?
4) Any other comments on the importance of the role etc. (especially
considering the bid to provide the services is being made by 7 local
authorities).
I apologise if I have not given the information you may need to respond
- I don't understand the tier 1, 2, 3 services.
Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
