Database threat to Liverpool's children

Jun 18 2009 by Marc Waddington, Liverpool Daily Post

LIVERPOOL council leaders are challenging the Government’s scheme for a database which will hold information about every child.

The city is one of 17 local authorities in the North- West piloting the ContactPoint system which is designed for child protection.

...

But last night city council leader Cllr Warren Bradley said as a parent he had grave concerns about the programme.

He said the ContactPoint system was yet another opportunity for data to fall into the wrong hands.

Well done to the Liverpool people for standing up to a system which has scope for doing damage.

Does anyone know if this just covers Liverpool council? As i am in Sefton Council which is still in Liverpool but a different borough? Thanks x

Booboo. If you find your local counselor and ask them directly you may have a better idea. It might be worth printing the article off to show the counselor.
