The CCRAG Matching Engine

The Matching Engine is the new Cross Regional Database developed by the Children Cross Regional Arrangements Group (CCRAG) with funding from the DCSF.
It holds information on independent and non maintained special schools and independent providers of residential social care for children with special needs. Future developments will include providers of foster care services, adoption services, residential family centres, care leavers services etc.

The 48 Local authorities subscribing to CCRAG can access the Matching Engine to source placements and services for children and young people with special needs.
