I was going to say something similar - I'm not familiar with the child maintenance legislation, but looking at the relevant part briefly I can see there is a duty to share in certain circumstances. I don't think we know what your organisation's relationship with the subject is, so I have no idea whether that duty actually applies to you or not. Either ask them to clarify why the obligation applies to you, or get some specific advice.
The crime and taxation exemption allows sharing, but just because it's cited doesn't mean you always have a choice.

s15(6) is more than a permissive gateway - it creates a duty "... shall furnish to the inspector... "
So unless you want to get into the murky waters of arguing it is not reasonably required most controllers would comply.
Strictly of course there could be a breach if it is NOT reasonably required (Does HMG ever act unreasonably? :-) ) but the real risk surely falls on the Inspector if exceeding the requirements of his role.
