ContactPoint shielding

C Murton made this Freedom of Information request to Cornwall Council

The request was successful.

From: C Murton

27 March 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

When will ContactPoint be deployed to this LA?

Has the local authority completed ContactPoint shielding, and are
you confident that shielding has been applied to every record that
needs it?

What specific guidance on shielding has been received by the local
authority? If the guidance is not statutory, what does the local
authority believe to be its basis in law?

How has the local authority decided which records should be
shielded? Have the children of high-profile people such as
celebrities and MPs been shielded? If so, how has their status been
decided?

What does the local authority understand its legal responsibilities
to be if harm is caused to a child or family because of failure to
shield a ContactPoint record?

What publicity work has been undertaken to inform local residents
about ContactPoint and how to request shielding?

How has the local authority ensured that those who are not at
school have received Fair Processing Notices, for example, home
educators or young people of 16-18 who have left school?

How has the local authority adapted Fair Processing Notices to
ensure that they are understood by parents with learning
difficulties or mental health problems, and those whose first
language is not English?

Has everyone in the area been told how to apply for shielding in
future if they are, for example, leaving a violent partner without
the knowledge of any statutory services?

Is there a standard procedure to shield the records of children who
become vulnerable, eg because of a court case or because they have
run away from home? How long would the shielding process take?
