3.8. We have access to a great deal of information through direct and
indirect contact with individuals. Whilst sensitivity and discretion are
obviously important in protecting the privacy of individuals it is essential
that data is shared amongst different sections of the organisation and
partners, and is used to maximum effect to ensure that vulnerable
people are known and identified. Data will be shared in line with the
Data Protection Act. It is also important that internal relationships are
effective especially the relationship between key teams such as our
Environmental Health Officers and those officers who work within the
Community Services Group.
Section 4 - Delivering the strategy
4.1. The pathway by which vulnerable people are identified and potentially
supported is outlined in Appendix 1 .The provision of support may be

following an assessment of individual’s circumstances.
