The data was obtained through open-ended interviews with Japanese university FETs from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The present study explores foreign English teachers’ (FETs) personal experiences with stereotypes and their use of critical cultural competence (CCC) building activities in Japanese university English as a foreign language (EFL) classes. However, ‘daring to share’ is not enough to address trust issues without also clarifying expectations regarding information use and perceived workload inequalities. Findings also highlight that providing statutory partners with ‘Direct Access’ to I.T systems can improve the relevance and timeliness of information.
These barriers can result in delays and failures to share information, which hinders the accuracy of risk assessments and ability to safeguard.
Overall, findings highlight that information sharing difficulties are causes by not knowing what information to request or share, limited resources, lack of clarity about General Data Protection Regulation and concern about consequences of breaching this. Thematic analysis revealed six themes: i) information sharing difficulties and impact ii) causes of information sharing difficulties iii) impact of ‘Direct Access’ on information sharing practices iv) workload inequality v) training and vi) evolution of ‘Direct Access’. Eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted with police (N = 4) and probation (N = 7) officers. This provides a novel opportunity to cross validate MTS theory to the real-world context of offender management and considers what works in practise to overcome information sharing challenges. The research is conducted within the context of a new enhanced information sharing ‘Direct Access’ initiative implemented in one region of the UK (Devon and Cornwall) that permits probation to directly access police information technology systems. The current study draws on the perspectives and experiences of probation and police officers to improve understanding of causes of information sharing difficulties. Little research has focused on the causes of these information sharing difficulties. However, public inquiries highlight current approaches are impaired by poor information sharing that compromises risk assessment and recall decisions, which can allow serious further offences to occur.
Managing offenders released from prison requires a multiteam system (MTS) approach, with teams from across police, probation, and other criminal justice agencies.
