New animation launched to support good practice in data sharing
We’ve launched a new short animation designed to help organisations better understand the processes and good practice involved in sharing data safely and effectively.
Building confidence in data sharing
Sharing data well is essential to improving outcomes for people who need care and support. However, decisions about sharing information can be complex and require careful consideration of legal duties, information governance and people’s rights.
This animation provides a clear introduction to good data sharing practice. It explains:
- why data sharing is important
- the principles that should guide decision‑making
- the processes that support ethical sharing
- what this looks like in practice.
It is intended for anyone involved in sharing data across social care, including practitioners, managers and organisational leaders.

Supporting wider data programmes
Good data sharing underpins wider work across Social Care Wales, including the Connecting Care Programme and the National Data Resource (NDR). A shared understanding of how and when to share information helps ensure data can be used appropriately to support care, learning and service improvement.
