This data protection impact assessment (DPIA) template is for professionals in health and care organisations who are responsible for managing their organisation’s access to and use of the Child Protection Information System (CP-IS).

What is the CP-IS?

The CP-IS involves the collection and sharing of safeguarding data about vulnerable children. It allows early intervention and the prevention of harm to these children.

When a child presents to health and care organisations, health and care professionals access the CP-IS, which is part of the clinical record held on the Spine, a national cloud based platform that allows information to be shared securely through national services.

Template DPIA

NHS England has produced a template DPIA which can be adapted locally to support good information governance around the use of the CP-IS.
