Caldicott Guardian

All health and social services departments must have a Caldicott Guardian, who must be a senior manager and a health or social care professional.

The Caldicott Guardian makes sure that where confidential personal information is shared (e.g. with local NHS or other care partners), this is done properly, legally and ethically.

The Caldicott Guardian for LBHF is Leigh Whitehouse, the Assistant Director for Resources in the Community Services Department.
