Data ageing:

  • Data ageing is two months, unless otherwise indicated. Therefore, the data for this indicator will be available two months after the end of the month in which the data first becomes available.

Data changes:

Data limitations:

  • In 2017-18 changes were made to OOHC counting rules to better align those with national reporting and to also better reflect the legal status of clients in OOHC. The 2017-18 result for this measure is not directly comparable to historic data previously published.

Data source:

  • KiDS – Corporate Information Warehouse (CIW) for annual data up to 2016-17
  • ChildStory – Corporate Information Warehouse (CIW) for annual data from 2017-18.
