CareProtects

Childcare is one of the most difficult and emotive areas of social care involving complex case dynamics. The need for total transparency makes it vital to be able to record decisions and actions for later review. The childcare suite of CareFirst was the first solution to respond to the requirements of The Children's Act and was already substantially ahead of other solutions in being a person, child centred system.

The need for flexible information systems to underpin models of good practice has never been greater. Policy initiatives, such as the Integrated Children's System, requires software applications to support new models of case recording. The CareProtects suite provides an integrated framework for all aspects of childcare management. The business areas supported by CareProtects are:

Child Protection
Children Looked After
Children's Assessment Framework
Adoption & Fostering Recruitment
Attendance Management
Childcare Placements
