Conservatives would scrap ContactPoint database

Posted by Glyn in Identity, Privacy at September 30th, 2008

The shadow education secretary has said the opposition would replace the directory of all children in England with a small targeted system.

Gove told the Telegraph that ContactPoint would “increase the risk” of abuse of vulnerable children. “The government has proved that it cannot be trusted to set up large databases and cannot promise that inappropriate people would be able to access the database. It would be irresponsible to implement something that is such a danger to our children,” he said.
