Definition
A1.1:The file provided in this refresh contains all placements for all children and young people to 30 June 2020. The data in this file is from 2017/18 to 2019/20 has been remediated and may contain updated records. A person identifier is used to link a child's placements. This file is structured as one placement record for a child or young person per row. This means that where a child has one episode or care period in OOHC but there are multiple placements within that episode, there will be multiple records for the child. There is an episode number so that placements within the same episode can be identified. The child who is the subject of the placement is identified by the person identifier. The file was extracted on 31 August 2020.
