ContactPoint

ContactPoint is a contacts list for people who work with children and young people. It provides a quick way to find out who else is working with the same child or young person, making it easier to deliver more coordinated support.

ContactPoint will only be available to staff across children's services who have been authorised , trained and who need it to do their jobs.

ContactPoint holds basic demographic information for all children resident in England, contact details for their parents/carers and contact details for services working with a child. It will not hold case information.

It is a national system to ensure it works for children who receive services across, or move across, local authority boundaries.
