‘In order to identify and address children's holistic needs, information sharing within and across agencies is vital.’ ‘One of the aims of eCare is to develop systems and procedures that will ensure that as many barriers to information-sharing as possible are removed. eCare is much more than an IT solution. It is about ensuring that organisation and cultural change also occurs to enable practitioners to feel comfortable in using the tools and in sharing information across agencies.’
