Social Care often involves multi-agency support. There are many other agencies with whom we routinely share your data in order to support you. Further information can be obtained in the service specific privacy notices.
We are legally obliged to safeguard public funds and will verify and check your details internally for fraud prevention. We may share this information with other public bodies, and also receive information from these other bodies, for fraud checking purposes.
We are also legally obliged to share certain data with other public bodies, such as HMRC, the Department for Work and Pensions and Social Security Scotland and will do so where the law requires this.
We will generally comply with requests for specific information from other regulatory and law enforcement bodies where this is necessary and appropriate.
In particular we will provide information to the Care Inspectorate should they carry out an inspection of our services or are investigating a complaint. Your information is also analysed internally and with relevant multi-agency partners to help us improve our services.
In addition to the above, information may be shared with the Prevent Multi-Agency Panel (PMAP) and with any other body necessary to support the functions of the PMAP.
This may include but is not limited to:
- Police Services
- Fire Service
- Scottish and UK Governments
- NHS
- Other Local Authorities
- GPs
- Third Party Organisations
- The Scottish Court Service
