Information Security Workshop - September 27 2004

Attended by 38 delegates, mostly from London boroughs, the workshop focused on inter-agency working and information sharing between authorities, with updates on new initiatives and experience to-date.

Topics discussed were the legal issues of information sharing and requirements of the Freedom of Information Act (FoI), the Framework for Multi-agency Environments (FAME) and the availability of open source software tools for joined-up services (LGOL-Net).  Case studies on information sharing within the NHS and Metropolitan Police were also be presented.
