For the purposes of this task the focus will be on children and young people included in the Child Protection Register and the Integrated Information System for Children. It will examine the current legal, social and policy framework for the Child Protection Register and the Integrated Children's Information System and provide analytical insight into how they have been developed. For each of these three areas will be included an assessment of how and why they have evolved to contain greater contribution from the service user and carer and the effect these have had on the provision of anti-oppressive services to a wide range of individuals. and service user groups. A child protection register is a confidential list of all children in an area who have been identified at a child protection conference as being at significant risk of harm (Parliament, 2012, section 30). The Integrated Children's Information System is a computer-based framework used to assess a child's needs. It includes three key elements: a framework for evaluation, a set of data requirements for children's services and clinical case examples that can be used to help practitioners and local authorities. According to national statistics (2013) “the number of children becoming the subject of a child protection plan has continued to increase, although at a slower rate than in previous years. 52,700 children became the subject of a plan in 2013, a small increase of 1.1% compared to 2012, and the same is true for the integrated children's information system.

Over time, it is hoped that the system will become less complicated and the time it consumes will be reduced. The future could see other professionals, such as hospital emergency departments, access part of the database to help doctors and nurses identify children suffering from abuse or neglect and evade events like Baby Peter's. However, this could lead to innocent people being charged as these professionals will not have the same skills or expertise as the social worker. As time passes and the integrated information system for children becomes better known within society, the original shame of the child protection register may return for those families in need of support. Only the passage of time will reveal the long-term future of the new system.
