Roles and Responsibilities

 WASPI Support Team
 This central support team is responsible for: 
  • Engaging with local information sharing communities;
  • Providing advice, guidance and training regarding the WASPI framework;
  • Provision of ISP Facilitators where required;
  • Monitoring ISP developments across Wales;
  • Quality assuring new ISPs;
  • Maintaining the WASPI website.
WASPI Designated Person 
It is recommended that each organisation identifies a ‘designated person’; this is usually a senior manager or Director who has responsibility for information sharing within their organisation.  It will be their responsibility to ensure that the commitments under the Accord are implemented and monitored within the organisation. 
WASPI ISP Co-ordinator 
It is recommended that an ISP Co-ordinator be identified for the development of each new ISP.  This individual will undertake initial research as to whether an ISP is required, and if so, then ‘manage’ the development process by initially identifying the partner agencies involved and arranging the meetings.
 
Only one ISP Co-ordinator is generally required for each development however, where a large number of organisations are involved, it may be that more than one person assists with the work.
 
At the end of the development process, the ISP Co-ordinator(s) will be responsible for ensuring that each organisation has approved the document by collecting copies of the ‘ISP Declarations of Approval’ and forwarding them, together with the ISP, to the WASPI Support Team. 
WASPI ISP Facilitator 
The WASPI framework recommends that an ‘approved’ ISP Facilitator be assigned to the development of each new ISP. Their role will be to provide advice and guidance through out the development process.
 
All ISP Facilitators have been appropriately trained in the development of ISPs within the WASPI framework and will be able to provide background information regarding WASPI to the partner organisations.  Each ISP Facilitator has a good understanding of information sharing related legislation.
