North Yorkshire chooses Liquidlogic integrated children's system
6 November 2007
The Children and Young People’s Service of North Yorkshire County
Council has chosen the Protocol integrated children’s system (ICS)from
Liquidlogic to provide an electronic case planning and management
system.
The solution which is fully compliant with the Department for Children,
Schools and Families (DCSF) ICS Phase 1 Requirements is scheduled to be
rolled out and go live in North Yorkshire early January, 2008.
North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC) has 15 Children’s Social Care
operational teams and 350 care practitioners based across the county. It
required a solution that was user-friendly and easily standardised so
that a common and coherent set of key processes could be readily adopted
by all the care practitioners.
Fran Senior, ICS Project Manager at North Yorkshire County Council said:
“The new system will provide care practitioners with full electronic
visibility of each case and will enable them to spend more time
concentrating on the resolution of complex cases, rather than on
manually completing mountains of paperwork.”
“As a former social worker myself, I can see the benefits of the system
immediately. It provides practitioners with relevant case information
immediately at the point of referral and frees up staff time to focus on
best practice. This ultimately translates to improved outcomes for
children,” comments Senior.
North Yorkshire is the twentieth local authority to choose Liquidlogic’s
ICS solution. Denise Harrison, Sales and Marketing Director as
Liquidlogic, said: “The positive experience of using our ICS solution is
now motivating many local authorities to re-examine their existing
solutions for Adult Services, as well as Children’s Services.”
