5.1 We will only share information with other agencies with the consent of the person experiencing domestic abuse unless there is a legal or safeguarding reason to share it without consent. This may include:
- The information is required for the protection of children.
- We are required by law to share the information.
- There are legal reasons to protect a person without capacity.
5.2 Any decisions made by professionals that affect the person experiencing domestic abuse should be proportionate and take into account their wishes (where known) as closely as possible. However, any wishes of the individual cannot undermine the council’s legal duty to act.
