Good afternoon,

 

Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to your request
under the Freedom of Information Act, please see our response below.  

 

“Neath Port Talbot Council have not actually implemented a new Children’s
Services system because NPT inherited the existing system from West
Glamorgan

County Council on reorganisation in 1996 and develop / maintain the system
in-house.

 

The Children’s Services system modules have been amended over the years by
in-house developers.  

Dependant on the nature of the change some upgrades / rewrites have taken
up to six months development time. The old and new system modules usually

run alongside each other until cases in the old version have been closed
down”

Authority’s FOI Policy, you may appeal in writing setting out the reasons
