  • ContactPoint PanelsContactPoint Panels

    The ContactPoint panels display Stop Notice details and Consent to Store Details of Person 18 Years or over on ContactPoint.

    ContactPoint Stop Notice Details and History

    Stop Notice check box defaults to checked if a child is under 18 and unchecked when they are 18 or older.

    If no requests have been received to retain the record beyond the child’s 18th birthday the record will be archived on the child’s 18th birthday and ContactPoint will send Stop Notices to any source subsequently sending data for this person and this box will be checked. If any other source has requested that a record is retained, they will not receive Stop Notices and will continue to send data until the latest Adult Transition Date is reached. In this way, the complete record with all current information from all sources is retained on ContactPoint, if one or more sources requests retention.

    If the person is 18 years old ContactPoint will already have archived the records. If consent is sought after the person's 18th birthday this box must be manually unchecked. This will then be sent to ContactPoint and data will continue to be sent.

    Consent To Store Details Of Person 18 and Over on ContactPoint

    This panel gives the facility for records of some young adults to stay on ContactPoint until they are 25, but only for very limited reasons and only with explicit consent. This is when it is believed that it would be in the young person’s interest to retain their record on ContactPoint after reaching the age of 18 and requires informed and explicit consent from the individual and ensures that ContactPoint legal requirements (as defined in The Children Act 2004 Information Database (England) Regulations 2007) have been met. It also includes young persons accessing Connexions services (until their 19th birthday), as well as individuals who have been looked after children, or have learning difficulties, to assist with transition to adult services (until their 25th birthday).

    The Add button is only enabled if the person is over 17 years old. If the person is already 18 years old a message will be displayed informing you that the record has already been archived and asking if you are sure you want to give Consent. If consent is granted for an 18 to 24-year-old, it will need to be manually de-archived by unchecking the Stop Notice checkbox.

    Clicking the Add button opens the Record Consent dialog. Check the Consent Given box and complete the Person who gave consent and to whom consent was given fields. The Consent Recorded and Consent Sought fields will automatically be set to the current system date and time. Select the Adult Transition Date (18 to 25 years old).
