Tentacles everywhere

My, isn’t Capita getting about?

Liverpool City Council and the London Borough of Hackney have signed contracts with Capita Children’s Services to use its Integrated Children’s System (ICS).

ICS will be used to transform the way children’s records are managed across the authorities. It will enable social care staff to view data on a child’s school attendance, achievement and behaviour alongside social care records.

Bearing in mind that the ICS social care record is likely to be permanent, if they are planning to link into one of Capita’s school systems, perhaps it’s time they sought legal advice.
