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:
Marown Commissioners to hold requisition meeting ahead of by-election
Onchan commissioner will stand again in 2031
Yellow warning for coastal overtopping to come into force later
Garff candidates put in 'terrible' position by windfarm advice says new MHK
