This is largely because there are splits within government on many of the key civil liberties issues that fundamentally define the relationship between citizen and state: how long and under what conditions can the government detain us, to what extent should the state surveil us, and what data on us should it hold? These internal divisions have been compounded by significant pressure from the civil service and security agencies to retain Labour policies that served to empower them.

  • The Contactpoint Database
    The ContactPoint database Standard Note: SN/SP/5171 Last updated: 25 March 2011 Author: Manjit Gheera Section Social Policy Section ContactPoint, or the Children’s Information Sharing Index, as it was originally called, was introduced by the previous Labour Government following concerns that professionals working with children lacked adequate resources to identify children vulnerable to abuse. Legislation was introduced in 2004 allowing the Secretary of State to require local authorities to establish databases in connection with their duties to safeguard children. Under those provisions, ContactPoint was launched in 2009 as an online directory containing basic information on all children in England and accessible to frontline professionals such as teachers and social workers. Following the 2010 General Election, the Coalition Government made it clear that it intended to scrap ContactPoint in due course. The database was shut down on 6th August 2010. The Government is currently considering the feasibility of replacing ContactPoint with a new signposting service for professionals working with vulnerable children. This note provides background information on the ContactPoint database. This information is provided to Members of Parliament in support of their parliamentary duties and is not intended to address the specific circumstances of any particular individual.

  • Biometric Surveillance in Schools: Cause for Concern Or Case for Curriculum?, Scottish Educational Review, 42 (1), 3-22
    Bryce, T.G.K., Nellis, M., Corrigan, A., Gallagher, H., Lee, P. & Sercombe, H. (2010) Biometric Surveillance in Schools: Cause for concern or case for curriculum?, Scottish Educational Review, 42 (1), 3-22. Biometric Surveillance in Schools: Cause for concern or case for curriculum? Tom Bryce, Mike Nellis, Amanda Corrigan, Hugh Gallagher, Peter Lee and Howard Sercombe University of Strathclyde ABSTRACT This article critically examines the draft consultation paper issued by the Scottish Government to local authorities on the use of biometric technologies in schools in September 2008 (see http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2008/09/08135019/0 ). Coming at a time when a number of schools are considering using biometric systems to register and confirm the identity of pupils in a number of settings (cashless catering systems, automated registration of pupils’ arrival in school and school library automation), this guidance is undoubtedly welcome. The present focus seems to be on using fingerprints, but as the guidance acknowledges, the debate in future may encompass iris prints, voice prints and facial recognition systems, which are already in use in non-educational settings. The article notes broader developments in school surveillance in Scotland and in the rest of the UK and argues that serious attention must be given to the educational considerations which arise. Schools must prepare pupils for life in the newly emergent ‘surveillance society’, not by uncritically habituating them to the surveillance systems installed in their schools, but by critically engaging them in thought about the way surveillance technologies work in the wider world, the various rationales given to them, and the implications - in terms of privacy, safety and inclusion - of being a ‘surveilled subject’.

No. STD 0207 925 6819 November 2007 Introduction The consultation “ContactPoint: Consultation on Draft Guidance” ran from 4 May 2007 to 27 July 2007. 221 formal responses were received. The consultation sought views on the draft ContactPoint guidance. The draft Guidance was issued under section 12(12) of the Children Act 2004: Any person or body establishing or operating a database under this section must in the establishment or operation of the database have regard to any guidance, and comply with any direction, given to that person or body by the Secretary of State. It sets out the key statutory requirements of section 12 and regulations made under it, and provides support to ensure the appropriate use and operation of the ContactPoint system. The statutory requirements apply to local authority ContactPoint Management Teams and those organisations named in Regulations (Children Act 2004 Information Database (England) Regulations 2007), as ‘national partners’. In addition, the guidance is aimed at those who will have access to ContactPoint as part of their practitioner/support role - ContactPoint ‘users’ and their managers. Method The consultation responses were gathered from the on-line response form (http://www.dfes.gov.uk/consultations), electronic MS Word documents, hard copy (downloaded or sent out by request) and free-text responses by email, post, web-questionnaire (Commission for Social Care Inspection - Ofsted), and email survey (British Youth Council, Triangle).
