What is the Worcestershire Partnership?
If time travel were possible, we could zoom ten years into the
future and see what Worcestershire would be like.
The Worcestershire Partnership does just that. In order to
tackle issues that affect Worcestershire residents' quality of life
- such as crime, health, jobs, education and transport - we need to
work together. These issues are connected and we believe that we
can address them better by working together, sharing ideas and
pooling our resources.
The Worcestershire Partnership brings together local government,
public services such as health, learning providers, police and
probation, voluntary and community organisations and local
businesses within Worcestershire. The work of the Partnership is
based on a shared common purpose and good will.
Information Sharing
Increasingly we need to share information in order to provide
efficient and effective services. The Data Protection Act 1998
requires us to be careful when sharing personal information.
Sometimes we will need to create an Information Sharing Protocol (a
written agreement between partners) about how particular
information should be handled and shared. For more information view
the Standard and
the toolkit
which accompanies it.
