However, at the point that either an Information Only notification or a Section 47 referral to Children's Services is considered, the offender's explicit consent will be sought in relation to this disclosure being made. It should be noted that refusal of consent is not a barrier to the sharing of information and a risk based decision will be made in relation to making the disclosure, the details of which will be noted on the case record. The RtCN1 form will indicate whether the disclosure has been made with or without offender consent.
