CP-IS – ‘Information Sharing Solution’
Where will be shared
Benefits for NHS staff
o Improves the assessment of children presenting in unscheduled care
settings through access to better supporting information.
o Deliver more focussed communication between social care and
health concerning these groups of children, leading to improved
intervention to prevent the ongoing abuse or neglect of a child.
o Builds a stronger more transparent relationship with social care
workers due to information being shared on the system.
o Save time as NHS staff will no longer need to manually produce lists
or enter data manually
