LIVERPOOL council leaders are challenging the Government’s scheme for a database which will hold information about every child.
The city is one of 17 local authorities in the North- West piloting the ContactPoint system which is designed for child protection.
However, the Liberal Democrat-led administration said yesterday it had serious concerns about the database which would be accessed by up to half a million public sector staff, like teachers and social workers.
