ContactPoint training
The Contactpoint project is currently set to go live in April 2008 in Liverpool.
Training will be scheduled by the Children's Services Strategic Programme Implementation Team nearer this time.
In order to access training, and subsequently ContactPoint itself, you will need to be identified within your organisation as being eligible for access and you will need a current enhanced CRB check.
Once you have been identified as an authorised user you will also be issued with any necessary equipment required to access ContactPoint.
Authorised users will be able to access ContactPoint in three ways - through:
- A secure web link
- Some existing case management systems
- Another authorised user (where appropriate IT is unavailable)
Wherever possible ContactPoint will be automatically updated from existing systems, avoiding the need for practitioners to enter information on a separate system.
It will not be possible for an authorised user to access case management systems or to see case data held by another agency on ContactPoint.
