Certain people to be told about disclosure for protection purpose
16AQ Certain people to be told about disclosure for protection purpose
This section applies if an information sharing entity discloses information in relation to an at‑risk person or connected person for a protection purpose under this part.
The information sharing entity must tell the at‑risk person or connected person about the disclosure, including—
the name of the information sharing entity to which the information was disclosed; and
when the information was disclosed; and
the nature of the information disclosed; and
any outcomes of the disclosure.
However, the information sharing entity need not tell the at‑risk person or connected person about the disclosure if—
the person has indicated, in writing, that they do not wish to be told; or
another entity has already told the person; or
it is not practicable in the circumstances to tell the person; or
the entity reasonably believes that telling the person may cause a risk to the life, health or safety of the at‑risk person or connected person.
