LAconnect Full Management Solution

“Opportunities for wider information sharing existed, but were either not recognised, shared or delayed.” – a key finding of the Khyra Ishaq serious case review.

LAconnect Full Management Solution is the result of 6 years experience and learning from working with Sheffield City Council. LAconnect FMS provides a comprehensive solution for Local Authorities to foster, force and improve cross agency collaboration and communication.

LAconnect FMS was designed to be far more than just a simple ContactPoint enabled hub, it is a complete solution for managing the local 'best view' Child Index, users and practitioners to improve service delivery where it really counts. This is explained by the following quote from Sheffield City Council: "Those local Authorities that recognise the real world benefits of the IISaM programme to Children, Young People and their families and can see beyond the current focus on technology will appreciate the attention to detail - driven by the needs of front line practitioners in Sheffield and the accumulated experience of running a child index for over 5 years - LAconnect is technology that has its focus on practice."

Now that restrictive ContactPoint guidelines no longer apply, LAconnect FMS will be improved and extended to incorporate eCAF information and other features driven by the needs of our Local Authority subscribers
