About

SWIS consists of a standardised Data Sharing Agreement that can be adopted by the Public, Private and Voluntary sectors to assist with the regular sharing of data. This standardised sharing agreement will require signatories to agree to a ‘Tier 1’ contract that sets out the legal requirements and expectations of data sharing in accordance to data protection law. The ‘Tier 2’ component of the document can be tailored to the specific needs and requirements of individual data sharing partnerships.

SWIS aims to create a more joined up approach to data sharing, making business processes more succinct, efficient and legally compliant.
