Information Systems
Connexions has developed excellent case management systems for effectively tracking young people's progress. These systems formed the basis of the Client Caseload Information System (CCIS) specification which enables support to young people across local authority boundaries, ensures multi-agency working and gives better targeting of services; all of which form the heart of any integrated youth support service.
Local authorities will be expected to ensure that the client tracking systems set up by Connexions services are maintained and developed to inform local planning and measurement of the NEET group.
The Connexions Service Specifications for LAs include:
Local authorities must have in place a robust client management system and
client tracking arrangements that meet the Client
Caseload Information System (CCIS) specification.
Management information
There are no changes to the requirement to supply monthly management information to DCSF. However, there are a few changes to the information to be collected from April 2008 as indicated in the CCIS Specification for 2008-2009 available from the Delivering Services: CCIS page.
Where the existing Connexions provider's CCIS system is not being used to submit data from April 2008, the new provider database will need to be registered with the NCCIS helpline for authentication before any data submissions can be accepted.
