This is the source repository for the Standard CSC Dataset for Local Authorities (Project 1a DDSF). A broader, more granular, standardised dataset for Children's Social Care (CSC) in safeguarding authorities. Enabling increased scope for bespoke local analysis using sector-driven national level data _(Ref: Project Stage 1)_; combined with a suite of methods/tools that all local authorities can adopt at near-zero running cost to independently produce the standardised dataset _(Ref: Project Stage 2)_. Current variation in local data caputure and storage limits data collaboration between LAs to standard ‘core’ datasets – most notably the Children in Need (CIN) Census and SSDA903, for children in need and looked after children respectively – and Ofsted’s “Annex A” specification of child-level data. These datasets often lack the depth and granularity that some individual LAs incorporate in bespoke local analysis, including to understand quality of practice and improved outcomes for vunerable children.
