Such collaboration between agencies has been criticized by some as too "big-brotherly" and unhealthy. A clause within the 1987 Act of Administration stated that it is an offense for State agencies to exchange information without consent, thus crippling the SSP which relies on interagency cooperation. There were discussions about whether non-specific information on families could be exchanged, but not news that a particular violent incident has happened. In England, unlike in Denmark, there are no privacy laws to prevent information exchange. Members of the Danish Parliament are seeking a more flexible interpretation of the 1987 Act.
