The purpose of this survey is to obtain feedback from practitioners about aspects of their work that are currently and will be supported by ContactPoint.
A benefits baseline is important because it looks at the "before" picture of what life is like without the ContactPoint. The survey will then be repeated after 6 months to compare the "after" picture against the "before" one. This will allow the ContactPoint Team within the Children and Young People's Directorate of Herefordshire Council and the DCSF to make sure that the systems are providing the benefits to practitioners that they are intended to.
The survey measures some of the key benefits for practitioners. It has been developed using feedback from previous ContactPoint benefits surveys, as well as input from members of national and local implementation teams.
This consultation has now closed and the formal response is available.
