Children: Databases

Annette Brooke
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what the data fields on the ContactPoint database are; and if he will make a statement.

Beverley Hughes
The data fields in ContactPoint contain information supplied by each data source. The data sources are listed in schedules 4 and 5 of the ContactPoint regulations and section 12(9) of the Children Act 2004. Some fields can hold multiple entries; for example where two addresses are known. Every ContactPoint record is made up of the information from each supplying source. The data fields listed here are collected from these data sources.
