A British System Suck is all bumbed out over the closure of Contact Point, the great database of all of the children in the UK.

Penny Nicholls of the Children's Society and Isabella Sankey of Liberty give their views on the closure of the UK database

As an organisation in daily contact with children across the country, many of whom desperately need better coordinated and better quality universal services, we are disappointed that the ContactPoint database, set up to improve outcomes for children, has been scrapped. We believe it could have facilitated communications between all of the different agencies working with children and young people.

Note: Ugly old beast, isn't she?



There, that's better.
