In May, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) issued a code of practice on lawful data sharing arrangements by both public- and private-sector organisations.


The code recommends that organisations put in place standard procedures to record what data is shared, with whom and for what purposes and to ensure that any such sharing is done securely. The code also encourages organisations to ask themselves whether sharing is justified, what information to provide to individuals and what contractual mechanisms may be needed.


A copy of the code is available on the
ICO’s website
