Abstract: The New Zealand health system assigns a unique identifier to every user of health services. The National Child Protection Alert System enables an alert to be placed against this identifier, making child protection information available to health providers throughout the country. Local health-based multi-disciplinary teams receive requests for an alert and decide whether an alert should be placed, but the proportion of requests accepted for an alert varies widely across New Zealand.
