ContactPoint (26th January 2009)
ContactPoint is an online directory enabling authorised staff to have access to demographic data on every child in the country. It will also give the name and address of any professional working with them. The database has been criticised by some children's campaigners and civil liberties groups but backed by others children's organisation and the Royal College of GPs and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. It is said that it will be a vital tool to help safeguard children, helping to ensure that the right agencies are involved at the right time and that children do not slip through the net.
