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.  For existing protocols visit the protocol register.
