The database ContactPoint

Draft guidance on the database ContactPoint, which will enable professionals working with children to share information and deliver co-ordinated support, is under consultation until Friday 27 July.

It will be an online directory to support practitioners, local authorities, and other parties in fulfilling their statutory duties relating to children, and users will be able to find out who else is working with a child or young person.
