This application is submitted on behalf of 7 Carers Centres to allow us to collectively purchase a new management information system that will capture all the data required by the Scottish Government carers census, for each of our funders and will improve how we record and evidence outcomes for carers. The Scottish Government's carers census data is a particular concern for the centre's included in this application as the systems we currently use do not allow us to easily capture many of the data fields required. The organisations who are part of this application do not currently have an online information management system in place. In order to keep pace with change and to be able to collate information safely, appropriately and usefully for the future we recognise that we need to move away from database or hard-drive based systems. We will also make sure that the new management information system we purchase will be fully GDPR compliant. As members of the Carers Trust we have had support from other member organisations who have already invested in and developed their own bespoke online information management systems. While we are keen to look at systems already developed, each organisation will make their own decision on which system works for them based on their organisational capacity and needs. We are applying for funding to cover the initial buy in cost of a Carers Online Information Management System platform and the staff training required to effectively use the new system. It is the intention of all consortium partners to purchase the same system. One of the reasons of forming a consortium is to be in aposition to negotiate a better deal in terms of cost and ongoing support but also to be able to offer support and advice to each other. In preparation for this application we have started to look at appropriate systems currently used in other Carers Centres. The initial and ongoing costs of some systems make them prohibitive. Although at the time of submitting this application we have not settled on a specific system we have based that cost per organisation on the advice of some current CIMS providers whose systems would be an option. The funding requested would cover the licence costs and move all of us from a data-base, paper based system to a cloud based system. Where organisations have decided on the same system staff training will be provided collectively and offer shared support across agencies.
