This guidance has been written to support voluntary sector organisations working with people experiencing homelessness on issues relating to sharing of client data in multi-agency meetings. It forms part of a suite of Homeless Link resources on effective partnership working.

Homeless Link also ran a series of six webinars in 2018 on the (then) new General Data Protection Regulation, the recordings of which continue to be available.

You may also find it useful to refer to our resources on safeguarding of vulnerable adults (where issues around data sharing are often relevant) and case management including examples of shared data systems (again where issues of data sharing are relevant).
