PRAIS

Recent government initiatives have actively promoted information sharing for staff working in social care in the delivery of services. Research has shown however that social workers are sometimes reticent to share or may share information inappropriately despite the availability of guidelines from both government and local authorities. There are no computer-based tools in general use to support practitioners in resolving the issues they are confronted with in deciding when to share, what to share and with whom to share information. To address this deficiency, we have developed a prototype for a privacy mediation tool, PRAIS, which can be used by agencies to ensure that information sharing conforms to legal requirements, fair information processing principles and the conditions set out in local data sharing agreements.
