The WASPI team work collaboratively with the five regional quality assurance groups to ensure that there is open and frank sharing of opinion and ideas that would help to keep WASPI effective and relevant as the way for organisations to share personal information in Wales, including leading the continued enhancement of the principles of the Accord through the WASPI Management Board.
We continue to provide the initial check as part of the quality assurance process for Information Sharing Protocols (ISPs) and publish assured ISPs to the website to encourage the ‘do once and share’ approach. We are available to provide advice and support on ISP development. The current team members are:
