Methodology for these estimates is outlined above and in appendix 9 CSC tasks and costs. Potential savings A user survey and user testing (described in the methodology section above) showed that, compared to current manual search methods, the new retrieval tool significantly reduces the time needed to find a child’s recent safety plan. An initial workshop indicated that finding a recent safety plan using the manual method takes 180 seconds. When additional survey data was factored in, the estimate rose to 200 seconds. By comparison, user testing indicted a maximum of only 20 seconds to find a recent safety plan with the new retrieval tool. Using the time/cost methodology described in the methodology section above, the social worker cost of finding a recent safety plan using manual search is £1.63 (for 180 seconds) or £1.81 (for 200 seconds); compared to only £0.10 (for 20 seconds) when the new tool is used. From survey responses, it is estimated that, of the social workers who responded, the total times the activity ‘find the most recent safety plan’ was undertaken in a week was 160 times. With this number of manual searches (160), the cost per week is £260.72 (at 180 seconds per search) or £289.69 (at 200 seconds per search); compared to only £15.26 when the new tool is used (20 seconds per search). The new tool therefore delivers
