In plain English

The Local Government Association is writing a set of guidance documents (called a playbook) to help councils set up and run complicated arrangements for sharing information. This particular section covers how councils can design, set up, manage and maintain information sharing between agencies such as councils, schools, police and health services in children's social care.

What the buyer wants

• Write one module of the playbook explaining how multi-agency information sharing in children's social care should be designed, set up, run and maintained • Provide practical, well-evidenced guidance that councils can use, drawing on legal requirements, good practice and real examples • Work to the LGA's timescales and editorial standards, and fit within the wider 5-7 module playbook structure

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

A firm without specialist expertise in children's social care information governance and data protection law, or without a track record of producing public sector guidance, would struggle to meet the quality expectations for this module.
