Working and sharing with others
In June 2011 the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
announced its proposed plans for integrated services with
Westminster City Council and the London Borough of Hammersmith
and Fulham. The Councils have agreed to look at areas where joint
working would be effective. This will be on a three borough basis
across some services, involving all three Councils and on a two
borough basis for others, working with the Royal Borough of
Kensington and Chelsea and one of the other Councils.
To enable the Councils to work effectively and maintain a high
standard of services, some personal information will be shared
across the Councils. Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea,
Westminster, and Hammersmith and Fulham will handle personal
information in accordance with the Data Protection Act. This
information will continue to only be used for the purpose indicated
when it was initially collected and only shared and accessed by
those staff within the specific services. It will be held in a
secure manner and will not be used for any other purpose without
your permission.
For further information on the integrated working plans please
see the
Tri-borough implementation plans.
