"PYP's Working Together Agreement"
PYP forms an agreement with all Service Users which sets terms that both parties can feel comfortable to work with. We like to be very open and honest with the families we support to ensure that both party expectations are informed, understood and agreed. Additionally, the safety and welfare of a child or vulnerable adult is paramount and the sharing of information with the relevant individuals, organisations and agencies is absolutely essential.
The Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) allows practitioners to store and share information for safeguarding purposes, including sensitive and personal information which should be treated as 'special category personal data'. This includes allowing practitioners to share information, regarding 'safeguarding of children and individuals at risk', without consent if it is not possible or reasonable to gain consent.
PYP Staff agrees to:
-
Display professional conduct at all times.
​​
-
Ensure information is kept confidential.

Share information with professionals who ‘need to know.’
​​
-
Work in accordance with PYP's policies and procedures.
