ICO statement on Named Person scheme
Following the Supreme Court judgement about the 'Named Person' scheme, the Information Commissioner's Office has issued the following statement.
Ken Macdonald, Head of ICO Regions, said:
“We will be working with the Scottish Government and agencies within the children’s sector to ensure that the concerns of the Supreme Court are adequately addressed. In the meantime, practitioners should be reassured that information sharing for child protection purposes is not affected by the judgment and that they should continue to share such information following best practice within the framework of the Data Protection Act and other law.”
