Essex Trust Charter
Sharing information between partner organisations is vital for providing co-ordinated services. Also, sharing information can help to meet the requirements of statutory and local initiatives.
This charter is an agreement in principle to share information. The charter will be supported by specific sets of rules (known as information-sharing protocols) that set out the details of sharing information.
To make sure there is a safe and secure environment for sharing information, the organisations signing the Trust Charter agree to do the following.
- Encourage all members to share information, unless it is illegal to share it or they have not received appropriate permission.
- Develop processes for sharing good information management practices to help the organisations work together, and support the aims of the Essex Trust Charter through the Essex Information Group.
- Make sure that those people giving us information also give us permission to share it, when appropriate.
- Work towards a common set of goals for sharing information.
- Help to develop a brand for the Essex Trust Charter to improve the trust between the organisations involved and the people of Essex.
- Work towards British Standard 7799, the technical standard for information security.
I agree to put into practice the principles of the Essex Trust Charter.
