About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to work in the council's Information Governance team in a key role supporting the disclosure of council records to support police investigations, as well as subject access requests made under data protection legislation.

The council receives around 600 requests for disclosure of records, which are often social care recordscontaining information connected to abuse, safeguarding and child protection.It is critical that we process these records accurately and in accordance with data protection legislation and agreed processes. The disclosures to the police can support criminal investigations and prosecutions whilst subject access responses can help our customers understand their life story, how and why the council made its decisions or simply what information we hold.

You will be responsible for reviewing sensitive and often complex council records, identifying relevant information, and helping to prepare appropriate disclosures. This will include supporting requests from the police where information may assist their investigations, and helping the council meet its legal obligations when responding to subject access requests.

You will work closely with colleagues across the council to ensure that records are reviewed carefully and responses issued are lawful, accurate and timely in line with data protection legislation and council procedures.

You will need to work with colleagues to clarify requests, gather relevant records, and ensure appropriate checks are completed before information is disclosed. You will also need to maintain clear records of decisions, searches undertaken and information disclosed or withheld

About you

We are looking for someone who:

Has knowledge and experience of undertaking disclosure work including subject access requests especially where these relate to social care, safeguarding or health records.

• Can make considered decisions about what information may be appropriate to share and be able to explain any decision to withhold
• Has excellent attention to detail, strong organisational skills and the ability to work confidently with sensitive information.
• Can work proactively and manage competing priorities
• understands the need for excellent customer service and has excellent communication skills
