Single View of Citizen / Child

At a glance

By providing a greater understanding of citizens and helping local authorities to provide support exactly where it is needed, Sentinel’s single view solutions meet a growing need across the public sector for joined-up service delivery and collaborative working.

Sentinel's software forms an integral part of a local authority's policy for safeguarding and supporting children, vulnerable adults and families, with data from multiple agencies merged to establish a holistic view.

Examples include a Single View of Child solution which is tailored specifically for those public sector organisations and multi-agency groups focused on the well-being and safeguarding of children, including adoption and fostering.

Key features and benefits
