If/when the Tories win the general election, ContactPoint will be abolished, so what's the point in an annual survey?
Impact of ContactPoint will be tracked by annual survey
A survey carried out by the Department for Children revealed that

on average a single practitioner spends two hours a month searching for details of other professionals involved with a child, with a 79 per cent success rate of finding the right details.

You really can't trust any statistics offered up by the DCSF as we all know. Maybe we should get a second opinion?

Delyth Morgan, junior children's minister, said: "ContactPoint will save practitioners a lot of time because they can't now quickly or easily find the critical information that ContactPoint will provide for them.

Not forgetting the unauthorised users and hackers who will be accessing that same critical information about the most vulnerable children.

"We conservatively estimate time saved to be at least five million hours per year which will be better spent working directly to support children and young people."

I wonder if Delyth would be good enough to confirm how many million social worker hours ContactPoint has cost so far, and how many more it will cost to run?
