Council relationship to Plymouth Parent partnership

L George made this Freedom of Information request to Plymouth City Council

The request was successful.

From: L George

30 June 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

Plymouth Parent Partnership claim to be an impartial service
offering confidential support to parents and carers. They say they
are "a statutory service, managed as part of the Plymouth
Psychology Service, but maintained to ensure its independence so
that parents and carers have confidence in the neutrality of the
service"
(http://www.plymouthparentpartnership.org...)

Please can you state the following:

1 - What relationship Plymouth City Council has with the Plymouth
Parent Partnership i.e. is the Partnership funded, staffed by, or
issued guidelines by Plymouth City Council?

2 - What relationship Plymouth City Council has with the Plymouth
Psychology Service i.e. is the Psychology Service funded, staffed
by, or issued guidelines by Plymouth City Council?

3 - What sort of information about families and children is
provided by Plymouth City Council to the Plymouth Parent
Partnership or the Plymouth Psychology Service?

4 - Are families contacted by Plymouth City Council to inform them
about and/or obtain consent for the sharing of such information?

5 - What sort of information about families and children is
provided by Plymouth Parent Partnership to Plymouth City Council?

6 - Given that the Plymouth Parent Partnership promises
confidentiality to parents, do Plymouth City Council check that the
sharing of any information by Plymouth Parent Partnership with the
Council has been consented to by any family involved?

Yours faithfully,

L George
