Wales Accord on the Sharing of Personal Information (WASPI)

The Wales Accord on the Sharing of Personal Information (WASPI) and its supporting documentation provides to the public sector, third sector and private service providers, a framework for development of protocols to govern the sharing of personal information for particular purposes.

It is being developed to provide the “gold standard” for all Sharing Personal Information (SPI) in Wales. The Accord provides a single basis for protocols that underpin effective collaboration across organisations to make sure their staff can share information safely and legally.

The Information Commissioner, Christopher Graham has given his full support to WASPI noting that it provides “a well considered and structured approach” and “a common standard, which should help to ensure not only a consistent approach but also legal compliance, and as such there are real benefits to its adoption across Wales”.

For further information, copies of the WASPI framework and advice on its use  please visit the Wales Accord on the Sharing of Personal Information website.
