Text Message Warning System Could Help To Protect Children (15 September 2011)

Date: 15/09/2011
Duncan Lewis, Legal News Solicitors, Text Message Warning System Could Help To Protect Children

A test message warning system could save the life of a child or prevent Family unrest, a software company claims. Leeds-based company, Liquidlogic, has developed software that aims to prevent child abuse by enhancing communication between care workers. The software already helps to safeguard around 100,000 vulnerable children. It triggers a text message alert when two or more individuals raise concerns about a child within one week. Social services can use the alert to take steps to remove a child from their current environment and into care.

Liquidlogic’s turnover has significantly grown due to demand for a system that aims to prevent child abuse cases such as those of 17-month-old Baby Peter who died in August 2007 in Haringey, North London, at the hands of his own mother, her boyfriend, and their lodger. Liquidlogic predicts that its turnover will increase from around £7 million to £10 million over the next three years. Since its formation in 2000, the company has successfully secured in excess of 25 per cent of the UK children’s services market. Liquidlogic is now aiming for rapid expansion across the adult services market.

David Grigsby, director of sales and strategy at Liquidlogic, says that the company aims to produce software that enables people to work in conjunction with local authorities. He claims that the software they produce works as it joins up data from numerous agencies and sources. It can therefore inform users of change and the need to intervene.

Child care solicitors at Duncan Lewis specialise in representing children, parents, and Family members. In recent years, the team have undertaken several high profile cases.
