ContactPoint

ContactPoint provides a quick way for people working with children to find out who else is working with the same child. It includes basic information about every child in England from birth to their 18th birthday (over 18 in certain circumstances) and contact details  for parents or carers and practitioners or other services working with that child. ContactPoint is subject to stringent security controls with access limited only to people with the appropriate training who have undergone security checks and who need to use it professionally.

This information has been taken from Working Together to Safeguard Children 2010.

ContactPoint is currently being reviewed. Please click here to link to the Department for Education website for further details as they become available.
