Manchester Geomatics has developed a web based GIS for Trafford’s Children and Young Peoples Service (TCYPS),
which has been online since March 2006. TCYPS’s main requirements were for a:
-
a public system, providing a geographical interface onto their Service Directory. This provides both professionals and users with easy access to information about the range of facilities and services provided by TCYPS and its partners. It also provides access to a limited range of statistical information about children, presented as graphs and maps
-
a management tool for policy makers and service providers, providing detailed information about clients and their needs. This part of the system is secure, and provides strictly controlled access to sensitive information about children and their circumstances
The system uses Manchester Geomatics' GEDI standard system architecture and database structure, customised to meet the client’s needs, including:
-
a data loading tool, enabling statistical data to be directly loaded into the system by authorised users
-
a flexible area profiler - the Report Wizard – which enables users to chose one or more pre-defined geographical areas, or to create a user-defined geographical area, and generate statistical reports and list facilities falling within them
-
secure login, with usernames and passwords
-
a searchable document archive
-
a range of administrative tools, giving control over user permissions and the data within the system
