What do staff think of CP-IS?
Hertfordshire County Council
“CP-IS removes the need to search for
and provide information manually and by
phone, freeing up our resources to apply
elsewhere.”
London Borough of Hackney
“The CP-IS automated notification was the
only way the social worker would have
found out about the incident.”
Portsmouth Hospital
NHS Trust
“CP-IS is key to us
taking a child-centred
approach and ensuring
they receive the best
possible care and
protection wherever
they are in the
country.”

Audit with children’s social care
• Are you familiar with the system?
• Do you know what is expected of you?
• What do you routinely do when you see a notification
on the system?
• Do you make enquiries about attendance and whether
this has led to further intervention?
• Do you need further information about the process?
Building stronger relationships with local authorities
Staff have a better understanding of assessing the child's needs
Better information sharing - voice of the child
Quick easy access - more information about children at the frontline
Building confidence in clinicians asking the right questions
Greater awareness of complex needs and support for Looked After Children
What benefits have we seen?

attended ED after a fall (not deemed
NAI)
• CP-IS notification automatically sent
to the local authority social care
team
• A nursery teacher rang the social
worker the following day to inform re
the child’s ED attendance
• Social worker could say she had
been notified re the attendance
• Clear evidence of timely information
triangulation
