Former social worker says 'consistent failures' over person information are still happening
An MLC says it's hard to believe there are still 'consistent failures' when it comes to information sharing in relation to safeguarding.
New safeguarding laws which would make it clearer when agencies can share personal information completed the final stage in the Legislative Council last week.
Kirstie Morphet, who had a career as a social worker prior to entering politics, believes the risk of breaching confidentiality remains a concern for those who come into contact with vulnerable people.
But, she says having guidance written into legislation is beneficial:
Manx Care issues update on pay awards
Growing frustrations as bus strikes resume
DoI 'committed' to reaching agreement with bus drivers
Fluoride varnish programme rolled out in Island schools in bid to reduce levels of tooth decay in children
Bus strike action continues
