Information sharing
The Council will work within the provisions of the Kent & Medway Information Sharing Agreement which provides a background for the sharing of information and the need for confidentiality and privacy.
Where appropriate the council will share information with the Police and vice versa under the Information Sharing Agreement so that agencies can carry out their functions and duties in accordance with the Crime & Disorder Act, 1998.
The council will also work to ensure that residents are encouraged and are able to report incidents confident in the knowledge that they will be recorded and investigated where appropriate.
