Promoting wellbeing

Data Sharing Agreements

To deliver the National Child Measurement Programme there is no need for data sharing agreements - the guidance in relation to this can be found on page 13 using this link: National Child Measurement Programme 2019: Information for schools

However if an individual school does feel there is a need for an agreement then please complete this proforma and email to: info@gpcaregroup.org
