Safeguarding data sharing: consultation report and summary of responses

4. Next Steps

We have carefully considered all points made by stakeholders in their responses to the consultation on safeguarding data sharing, particularly in those areas where there was no clear majority or consensus, and this will be reflected in the proposals put forward to the Minister.

The Scottish Government is committed to ensuring that our safeguarding policies are as robust and effective as possible.

The Scottish Government will now consider the foregoing analysis and all points raised with a view to informing a decision around the need to lay regulations before Parliament, as well as ongoing policy development related to safeguarding.
