Kai & Kōrero: Learning over lunch
This session will focus on bringing information sharing practice to life in your day to day work. We will cover both the Oranga Tamariki Act and the Family Violence Act sharing frameworks, and look at how the Privacy Act works with those sharing frameworks to ensure information sharing practices are privacy protective.
It will focus on what good practice looks like for you, the work that you do, and the clients that you work with. Working through real life examples from your practice, the session will provide you with the knowledge to make confident information sharing decisions to identify and implement effective and appropriate supports for your clients.
