Controversial children's database ContactPoint launches today

The government today launched ContactPoint, the much debated and delayed database of children's information.

The idea of the database is to allow all agencies involved in children's welfare to share information. There has been a very mixed reception to the database from child welfare bodies and charities.

Our fear is with the current track record of major government IT projects it is only a matter of time before the first breach/failure of the system, lets hope we are proved wrong.
