What is it?
A professionally printed, wire‑bound copy of the Information Sharing Information Duty  - Statutory Guidance for Safeguarding Organisations and Their Practitioners.  
 
This is the new document  that is effective from 30 September 2026.  It was previously guidance only, but under the new Children's Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026, it is now a mandatory document for all those who work with, care for and support children, including all childminders. 
 
Why will you love it?
Whilst this can be accessed online, this printed version gives you something far more practical.  It looks professional, feels sturdy, and is designed to cope with everyday use - all while keeping the cost as low as possible.
 
No more scrolling through PDFs, losing your place, squinting at tiny text on your phone, or using up expensive printer ink at home and then trying to keep loose pages together. This wire‑bound copy flips effortlessly, lies flat for easy reference, and is printed on quality paper you can highlight and make notes on.
 
It’s finished with simple card covers and printed in black and white - giving it just enough protection to keep it neat, tidy, and ready for inspections without adding unnecessary cost.
 
 
What’s inside?
This is the full Sharing Information Duty, which you can download for free from the government’s website to see all the contents.  You are paying for the physical resources and printed services for this item, not the content. 
 
Please note this item does not include the accompanying 'Multi-agency information sharing: Tier 1 and Tier 2 Templates'.  These are available online for free as editable Word documents, to be tailored to individual settings, so it wouldn't make sense to provide printed copies.  
 
 
What’s the spec?
A4 size
17 double sided pages
80gsm premium paper for crisp black and white printing
Sturdy black wire binding
350gsm front and back card covers 
Professionally printed and trimmed for a clean finish
 
 
How long does it last?
It’s designed to last a couple of years - or until the Information Sharing Duty is next updated – whichever comes first! 
 
 
When will you get it?
All printed items have a 10 working day turnaround (plus postage), as each calendar is made to order. This allows me to fit printing and packing around work and family life while still ensuring every order is finished to a high standard. Once ready, your journal is sent via Royal Mail 48 Tracked, so you can follow its journey to you. If I’m able to send it sooner, I absolutely will - but 10 working days is a comfortable and realistic timeframe.
 
You’ll find more details in the Printed Paperwork Policy.
