Find out about the 2008 mapping exercise
Launch of children's services mapping
Child health, CAMHS and maternity service mapping has merged with local authority children's services mapping to create an new, integrated, national mapping system that includes services from all the agencies that come within the responsibility of Children's Trusts.
A series of briefing notes have been prepared to explain the mapping exercise.
Registration and set-up
Registration for the 2008 data collection is now open. Organisations can begin entering data from the 3rd November. There is guidance for Mapping Leads on how to complete the registration and set-up process.
New to the mapping this year is the ability for local authorities to download a spreadsheet to input service directory information. Guidance on how to do this is available in the help section.
CAMHS staff and team caseload sheets are also available to download.
Commissioning finance
PCT and LA commissioners can now access the commissioning section of the website. Once you are logged on click on the commissioning finance link under the Data Entry menu.
Many thanks to all of you for supporting the project from the children’s mapping team.
