ICS: Pilot studies
The pilot studies are divided into two separate projects: an investigation into the impact of the Integrated Children's System (ICS) on multi-agency working and the second on the impact of ICS on children's social care.
The documents below are a series of progress reports. The final report for the multi-agency pilot is expected by the end of June 2006. The social services report is due in August of the same year.
