This page outlines the legal framework for ContactPoint and explains its
relationship to key legislation. Section 12 of the Children Act 2004 provides
the legal basis for establishing ContactPoint, which was previously known by
the working title of the 'information sharing index.'. The Children Act 2004 and supporting regulations prohibit the
inclusion of any case information on ContactPoint. The purpose of ContactPoint
is to support practitioners who are subject to the duties specified in Section
10 and Section 11 of the Children Act 2004 - the duty to co-operate to improve
well-being, and the duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children
in England. On 1 January 2006, section 12 of the Children Act 2004 came into force.
This provides the legal framework for the regulations and guidance
that will govern the establishment and operation of ContactPoint. Regulations and statutory guidanceA formal public consultation on the draft information sharing index
regulations ran from 21 September, and closed on 14 December 2006. These
regulations will be made under Section 12 of the Children Act 2004. Once in
force, they will provide the legal framework for the establishment and
operation of ContactPoint. We are due to publish a response to the
consultation and a summary statistical report in spring 2007. You can read the archived
consultation materials and draft regulations on the DfES consultation
website. Statutory guidance is being developed, which will provide further details
about the operation, security and maintenance of ContactPoint. This
guidance will cover issues such as how a record will be created and maintained,
and how access to records will be granted and controlled. The guidance is due
to be consulted on in spring 2007. A finalised version will be published later
in the year. Data protection and human rightsAs with all legislation we have sought the necessary advice on the
relationship between ContactPoint and the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Data
Protection Act 1998 and are confident that it is consistent with both. The rights of children, young people and families under the Data Protection
Act will not be affected by ContactPoint. Proper procedures will be in
place to allow people to see the information that is held about them and to
have inaccurate information corrected or removed. Click to read further information about ContactPoint
