Every employee of England's police forces, as well as many teachers,
will have access to the system containing information on all children
in England.
Beverley Hughes, the children's minister, released a list of the job
positions that will have access to the ContactPoint system on
Wednesday, in a written parliamentary answer to Keith Vaz, the Labour
chair of the home affairs select committee.
As well as all police officers and staff covering a geographic area,
the system will be available to healthcare professionals and their
assistants; officers of local probation boards and youth offending
teams; heads, officers and administrators at prisons and secure
training centres; and all social-care workers.
Access to ContactPoint will also be available to school headteachers,
deputy heads, heads of year, other teachers with pastoral or
child-protection responsibilities, special-needs teachers and
co-ordinators, as well as holders of similar posts at
further-education and higher-education establishments.
Access will also be given to five charities, including Barnardo's and
the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, as
well as employees of fire and rescue authorities working on strategies
for children and young people.

This database is sooo dangerous. Next we will be charging adults and
children with pre-cognitive crimes. (Oh, wait....we do
already...social services can accuse a parent and begin court
proceedings based on telling a judge 'there is a possiblity that maybe
one day somewhere in the future, there is a chance of a risk of harm
to the child')
Surely this database has to in breach of the ECHR - that is the right
to privacy. ???

Since when are charities employees classified as a government
employees?
I looks like the UK wants charity workers to work for the government
for free, and is willing to give them as much power as police officers
if need to be.
Leave the kids alone Gordon (Brown)!

If you look at their accounts you'll find that many of the bigger
charities and pressure-groups are largely government-funded. Which
leads to the somewhat odd circumstance of the government paying a
pressure group to lobby the government.!

They won't lobby very hard if they're likely to lose funding. How
convenient.

Let me see, is this access going to be restricted with really high-
security ?
An RSA key system (for example) ?
Limited to known IP addresses ?
Every access logged, with a copy being automatically sent to the
organisation contact daiy ?
Or will it be some public website, with one password for all of
Barnardoes .... let me guess, login "Barnardoes", password
"password" ?
You can smell the negligence from here
