Definition
The 'Child Protection Reporting - Base Data Asset' has been developed to:
- support analysis beyond the scope of what can be done using CIW reporting functions, including as an input to the creation of the CP Longitudinal data asset
- enable greater consistency across analysis
- facilitate the sharing of data with other parts of the organisation who do not have access to CIW, and to researchers/consultants or other agencies who are required to work with the data extract.
The asset is constructed based on combinations of “Child or young person” and “Contact/Report”. Fields from specific assessments and other variables (e.g. “Triage”) associated with the Child Protection Report are also included in the longitudinal asset.
While best efforts have been made to ensure the base counts of the file (number of reports, number of children reported etc) match the Annual Report published counts for the corresponding year, discrepancies may still occur. Data added to the table has been aged for two months before being included. Existing data is not updated when new data is added.
The asset contains a subset of the dimensions currently available in the CIW report builder. The included dimensions have been selected based on types of analysis commonly carried out by FACSIAR. This data is being routinely brought into the FAP and can be used for a range of purposes, including developing the longitudinal asset.

Notes:
- Shaded boxes are items for which data are collected nationally.
- Dashed lines indicate that clients might or might not receive these services, depending on need, service availability, and client willingness to participate in what are voluntary services.
- Support services referred to in the box on the right include family preservation and reunification services provided by government departments responsible for child protection, and other agencies. Children and families move in and out of these services and the statutory child protection system, and might also be in the statutory child protection system while receiving support services.
