Rea Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Even if they eradicate all security risks, theres still human error. How many discs have been lost recently with personal data on? I havent read the report either but it doesnt sound like a good idea at all
shazzam Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 i've just done my information sharing, here in hampshire the CAF awareness is done on-line and then the completer is a day course. as far as i'm aware you need to have 2 staff CAF trained per setting(but that might be just hants). i think basically it should be the child protection officer and SENCO.
HappyMaz Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 We were told that in Berkshire settings were allowed three members of staff to have access to ContactPoint - I had to confirm that we are all CRB checked, have internet access and were willing to use home computers to access the database. Someone was going to contact me in September to take my contact details and those of my nominated staff. I'm still waiting for a call... Maz
Guest Wolfie Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 One of the things that occurred to me is what's to stop registered people with access to ContactPoint abusing the system and just having a "quick check" on a family that they know, with no valid professional reason for looking at the data?
Guest Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Sorry to reply to myself (nothing differen there then!) but I've just been tidying up my email folders... Here is the link to an article about the possible security and other difficulties which have been highlighted... http://www.cypnow.co.uk/bulletins/Daily-Bu...C-DailyBulletin It all sounds a bit bleak - but I would hate to comment too much because obviously I haven't read the report the article is about... Maz Thanks Maz for the link. Further to another post I asked you about subscription to cypnow, I found the free bulleting sign up and am now duly registered for them. Peggy

Maz Hmmmm, home computers, how does this sit with security, confidentiality etc I wonder. Peggy
Guest Wolfie Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Yes, I agree Peggy, that doesn't sound safe at all.
Guest Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 There is lots of caf training and other training opportunities in the sure start training booklets
HappyMaz Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks Maz for the link.

Guest Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Ive just done Level 1- CAF and LP Awareness training module online. I typed ISA training management into google and did the first one, which was Lancashire. It is 10 very easy questions and took less than 5minutes. Level 2 is also online but you need a passcode and password which settings should have. Then the next levels are face to face.
