Definition

'The Child Protection Reports - Longitudinal Data Asset' has been developed to support internal and/or external research, evaluation and modelling. It is a continuation of the historic 'Overtime' file which was historically developed from quarterly and annual extracts provided to FACSIAR by the Information Management team and processed using SPSS scripts. 

The primary purpose and use cases of the 'The Child Protection Reports - Longitudinal Data Asset' are:

  • Where historic data is required beyond what is available in the 'Child Protection Reports -  Base Data Asset' or the 'Client Information Warehouse (CIW)'. This includes records from ChildStory, KiDS and other previous case management systems as well as paper based records.
  • Where the user requires data as recorded according to business and counting rules of the time around which the record was created. For example, the district out of which case work activities were carried out will be recorded at the time of the record creation. In contrast, data from the CIW Production Environment and recent FAP loads will record the historic district according to current definitions.
  • The asset contains a subset of the fields currently available in the CIW report builder and the Child Protection Reports Base Data Asset. The included dimensions have been selected based on anticipates usage needs. The full list of fields have not been included to minimise the complexity of the asset. 

Due to the processing of the file, records and resulting counts are expected to vary from those in the Child protection Reports - Base Data Asset. The Longitudinal asset should therefore not be used for internal reporting purposes. 

The asset is stored in the table `fdp-child-protection-prod.child_protection_pii_bdm.cp_longitudinal` in the Google Cloud Platform Federated Analytics Platform and includes data back to 1987.

Data is incorporated from two sources:

  1. Existing longitudinal file containing records to 30 June 2019 coming from data manually provided by IM. 

  2. Bi Annual data from CIW extracts, appended onto the existing file using R and SPSS scripts. The processing of data is currently carried out on local machines, and is int he process of being rewritten in tools hosted on the Federated Analytics Platform.
