Information governance

Information governance (IG) is all about how to manage and share information safely and securely. We want to make sure that IG guidance is clear and consistent for everyone working in health and care organisations. This portal brings together national guidance on information governance to help you understand how to use information appropriately to support care.

The National Data Guardian, Information Commissioner and the Chief Medical Officer for England have recently published a joint statement and video on sharing information for direct care.
