1 July 2019, LS/CMI only
The Scottish Government’s Community Justice Division have recently agreed to proceed with centralising the LS/CMI system into a single (web based) system. This news should delight, in particular, those users of the current system with importing/ exporting responsibilities!
The decision to centralise the LS/CMI system – which includes an MFMC component in addition to the LS/CMI – follows on the heels of work to centralise the Caledonian part of the system.
A Project Board has been established to oversee the centralisation work, membership of which includes representatives from Social Work Scotland, SPS, Scottish Government, Community Justice Scotland, the RMA and a number of LS/CMI mentors. The first gathering of this board took place on 21st June 2019.
Amongst the first tasks for the board is to agree a Terms of Reference and communications strategy. Further information will become available once the communications strategy has been signed off.
