Information sharing protocols (MAISP tier 2)

Multi Agency Information Sharing Protocol (MAISP) Tier 2 provides a centrally approved information sharing protocol template for organisations that routinely share personal information. MAISP Tier 2 protocols are sector specific, that is crime and disorder, health, social care, education. Once agreed, each MAISP Tier 2 protocol and signatories will be listed on the Surrey MAISP webpages.

There is no requirement for organisations to complete and publish a MAISP Tier 2 protocol and you may choose to rely on local Information Sharing Agreements. However, the MAISP Tier 2 is designed to ensure that for the specific data sharing organisation are undertaking they comply with Data Protection Act 2018, General Data Protection Regulation (UK-GDPR), and the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) Statutory Code of Practice on Data Sharing. It will help with the requirements placed on organisations to demonstrate accountability, transparency and due diligence while making sure that subjects of the data sharing have access to all their rights.
