Information Sharing Agreement (ISA)
An Information Sharing Agreement is a signed ratified document between a partner and ourselves that sets out:
- What information is going to be shared.
- What powers in law give the ability to share information.
- How the information is going to be shared.
- Who the partners to the agreement are.
- Any necessary security requirements.
We publish all of the Information Sharing Agreements that we have in place with our partners so that you can see how Leicester City Council may share your information. They can be found at the bottom of this page.
