Deferred
The Government remains committed to delivering a national ICTG programme. In June and October 2023, the former Safeguarding Minister agreed that we continue work to deliver ICTG national rollout covering all of England and Wales. While the implementation of a national rollout of the ICTG programme is still subject to approval of business cases and funding arrangements, we will continue our work to deliver it as soon as is practically possible. The Government is working to ensure that the most suitable commercial option is selected to support the delivery of a national ICTG service.
