What is it about?

It sets out the barriers to information sharing, attempts to overcome them and considers some of the factors involved in shaping a new direction for information sharing, such as changing public expectations and the rapidly changing regulatory environment. Information sharing is often cited as being a barrier to the transformation of public services, for example child protection, domestic abuse and serious crime. This article explains what needs to be done to deal with these issues.
