UPDATE ON THE NATIONAL DATA NETWORK: CHILDREN AND YOUTH PORTAL


Progress has been made with the development of the Children and Youth Portal located within the National Data Network (NDN). The NDN team are in the process of developing a prototype portal based on feedback, from node custodians, received on the initial design. The prototype is scheduled to be released for comment around April/May, prior to a release for the NDN pilot phase (scheduled to begin in July 2007).

If you have any queries regarding the Children and Youth Portal please contact the NDN Technical Team on inquiries@nationaldatanetwork.org. Further updates on the Children and Youth Portal, including information on the release of the prototype portal, will be included in future issues of Children & Youth News.
