Share incident data internally

12

Inform operational decisions

13

Inform organisational policy

14

Inform staff of decisions made

Organisations can gain valuable insights from sharing and using incident data internally across departments and teams. When sharing data, organisations should anonymise it by removing personally identifiable information and maintain confidentiality to protect the privacy of individuals affected by incidents. Incident data supports informed decision-making across all organisational departments, including policy, programmes, finance, human resources and advocacy. Incident data can be used for:

  • Context analysis
  • The development of action plans
  • Access and programme planning
  • Funding proposals
  • Risk assessments
  • Job descriptions in specific areas
