Details

This agreement is published as part of the Code of Practice for public authorities disclosing information under chapters 1, 3 and 4 (Public Service Delivery, Debt and Fraud) of part 5 of the Digital Economy Act 2017.

The purpose of this data share is to combat and prevent fraud against a public authority through the sharing of data. Adult social care departments within local authorities must assess whether or not an individual, who is receiving a care and support package, qualifies for any state assistance to help them meet their living costs. This data share allows for this function to be carried out.

This is a pilot, which will be extended to allow for additional time for the relevant data to be shared and analysed.
