“one way to avoid the risks of a central, state-run monolithic database of the entire population would be to have
some sort of federated system”
Richard Thomas, Information Commissioner, 3 February 2004
Child Protection Messaging
Child Protection Messaging
• A means of sending a flag on child protection activity out to professionals working with children;
• Single national approach to the sharing of child protection information;
• Should lead to timely intervention and help stop children from falling through the net.
• First step of Getting It Right For Every Child
Child Protection Messaging
• Should never be seen as an alternative to current child protection procedures:
• An aid to understanding the fuller picture for a child;
• An aid to diagnosis perhaps and;• At all times an alert to act further and follow
agreed processes and procedures.
