Scope: | The Care and protection order Data Set Specification (DSS) contains information about all care and protection orders ever issued to the clients in the Child protection and support services (CPSS) client DSS. This includes care and protection orders that were issued and/or applicable during the reference period and also those from previous years, as well as orders that were discharged in previous years. Children should be counted in the state or territory where the order is operative, regardless of where the child is residing. The following care and protection orders/arrangements are included in the scope of the collection:
The following are out of scope for this collection:
Each new order a child is placed on will be a new line in the file, delineated by a start and expiry date. The collection is relevant to any child on an order or other formal arrangement. This covers any child for whom state/territory child protection and support services has a responsibility as a result of some formal legal order or an administrative/voluntary arrangement. Only orders issued for protective reasons are included. A legal or administrative order is any lawful direction which involves state and territory child protection and support services with a child over and above what is generally considered normal for most children, or which has an assumption that the department will have carriage of the order (or a substantial part of it). The involvement might take the form of total responsibility for the welfare of the child (for example, guardianship), responsibility for overseeing the actions of the person or authority caring for the child, responsibility for providing or arranging accommodation or reporting or giving consideration to the child’s welfare. Depending on the state or territory regulation under which the order is issued, the order can be from a Court, Children’s Panel, Minister of the Crown, authorised child protection and support services department officer (for example, director) or similar tribunal or officer. |

Comments: | The 2010 unit record collection is a pilot test, therefore the implementation of the unit record data collection across all jurisdictions has not been finalised. The pilot test is a non-mandatory data set specification, rather than a national minimum data set specification, and is subject to change. A final unit record child protection NMDS will be developed when the results from the pilot/dress rehearsal testing are obtained and evaluated.
