Data for public benefit: balancing the risks and benefits of data sharing

Data for public benefit: balancing the risks and benefits of data sharing This report is a joint initiative between Carnegie UK Trust, Involve and Understanding Patient Data. It presents new research from across six local authority areas in England and has found that there are big differences in how public services currently define and weigh up public benefits and risks of data sharing. A framework has been developed to help organisations make better decisions about when data should and shouldn’t be shared. This framework will help professionals weigh up the purpose of sharing data against the potential for harm and help public service providers have conversations with the public about data sharing. Carnegie UK Trust
