BBC NEWS | Education | Database of children is delayed

The introduction of a database of details about every child in England has been delayed for the second time.

The database of children’s names, addresses, birth dates and contact details for their doctors and schools, was due to be piloted from October.

Children’s minister Kevin Brennan said “some issues” with the system, called ContactPoint, had been identified during internal tests.

He said more tests were needed to ensure the system was “right”.

I wonder what the issues were? I guess at least that’s one thing I don’t have to keep reading tomorrow then (have only received 15 documents about it in last 3 weeks).
