Benefits of One
One transforms the way children's records are managed across an authority, supporting a shared commitment to improved efficiency and maximising outcomes for children.
One Child Record
One is an integrated information and case management system helping authorities meet the objectives of Every Child Matters by effectively integrating and sharing Children's Services data across the department. For the first time, local authority staff can view data on a child's school attendance or behaviour alongside social and community care records, helping them to quickly identify vulnerable children and offer targeted support.
One provides authorities with a single solution meeting the changing needs of Children's Services. It creates a complete picture of each child with their full history of needs ensuring they can be dealt with appropriately and that no vulnerable child falls 'through the net'.
Data Entered Once - Used Many Times
One eliminates the need for duplicate records to exist for the same child. Data-entry is reduced to a minimum ensuring resources are focused on service delivery, not administration. A common framework for recording information ensures data can be brought together from different services to support integrated working.
Data can be drawn in directly and automatically from schools and your other partners, enabling local authorities to access the most-up-to-date information on children and target resources to problems more effectively. One helps authorities create an accurate collective profile of all children in their area, effectively identifying trends and predicting changing service requirements.
Financial Benefits
Significant financial savings can result from maintaining a single system to manage children's data, instead of several separate systems. Data-entry work is reduced and resources concentrated more effectively on front-line service delivery. Internal system support can also be streamlined to focus on a single system.
