We remove barriers to information sharing by creating clear, consistent ways for education and healthcare to work together, helping the right support reach students at the right time.
Clear Standards for joined up working
Shared standards and frameworks help partners work in a clear, lawful and quality assured way. This created a stronger foundation for collaboration, consistency and informed decision making.
Faster support at the right time
Clear information sharing arrangements reduce delay and uncertainty when students need support. This helps services respond earlier, manage risk more effectively and connect students to the right support without unnecessary repetition.
A better experience for students and staff
Clear frameworks for information sharing help organisations work together safely, consistently and transparently. They give staff clarity about their responsibilities, support lawful and proportionate information sharing, and help ensure decisions are made in the best interests of learners.
Bringing health and education together builds a stronger safety net around learners throughout their journey. At the heart of this approach is partnership working, allowing for clearer communication and more integrated care."

Supporting Safe and Consistent Data Sharing
Students often need support from both their college or university and NHS Mental Health Services. In the past, these services have not always been able to share information with each other in a clear, consistent way. This can mean students repeating their story, delays in getting the right support, and education providers being asked to manage risk without knowing whether a student may already be receiving treatment from the NHS.telyn is supported by the National Wales Accord for the Sharing of Personal Information (WASPI) team, who provide guidance and quality assurance to help us develop clear, consistent and appropriate approaches to information sharing between education and health services.
