Information Governance
Information Governance
Information Governance is a term that describes our strategies for using information in a way that enables us to meet statutory duties and regulatory guidance related to the use and management of information, whilst still discharging our statutory functions effectively.
It provides a framework for our approach to requirements like Data Protection law, the Common Law Duty of Confidentiality, information sharing between health and care organisations, National Data Guardian Data Security Standards, cyber security, Freedom of Information and much more besides.
On this webpage, you will find some of our key Information Governance Policies and links to other pages on this website where you can engage more with us on these topics, such as by making an information request or by reading our Privacy Notice.
