Governance

Data protection by design

The East Riding pilot includes a governance approach that supports multi-centre roll-out while maintaining clear boundaries. This page summarises the design intent — detailed agreements (DPIA/DPA/DSA) are part of mobilisation.

Separation and access

  • Organisation partitioning: centres access their own records only
  • Role-based access control for staff and volunteers
  • Principle of least privilege: default deny, grant as required
  • Administrative controls to prevent accidental crossover

Audit and accountability

  • Key actions logged (create/update, messaging sends, exports where applicable)
  • Supports safeguarding, complaint handling, and accountability
  • Designed to keep logs useful rather than overwhelming

Consent-led messaging

Messaging features are designed around consent and transparency. Centres can capture consent to contact and keep contact details up to date during normal service interactions.

  • Consent flagging and time-stamped records
  • Templates and message logging
  • Opt-out handling approach (provider dependent)

Regional reporting boundaries

Council reporting is designed as an aggregated/permissioned layer. The pilot defines what is shared, at what granularity, and under which lawful basis.

  • Aggregated KPIs rather than individual-level access by default
  • Clear definitions and consistent reporting views
  • Data Sharing Agreement (DSA) as part of mobilisation

What gets produced during mobilisation

To support council/funder assurance, the pilot mobilisation workstream typically includes:

DPIA (Data Protection Impact Assessment)
DPA (Data Processing Agreement)
DSA (Data Sharing Agreement)
