The SIRO is accountable and responsible for information risk across the organisation. They ensure that everyone is aware of their personal responsibility to exercise good judgement, and to safeguard and share information appropriately.

NHS Digital guidelines say that the Caldicott Guardian should be a senior person responsible for protecting the confidentiality of people's health and care information and making sure it is used properly.

All NHS organisations and local authorities providing social services must have a Caldicott Guardian.
