 from various forms to 903/Ofsted Annex A data items was done largely by hand using best judgement. Another important thing to note is the mapping of 903/Ofsted Annex A to data items. Whilst there is technically an objective mapping for this, the data matrix cannot be said to be objective. This is partly because only one LA included information about which data items were for statutory returns. Accordingly, best judgement was used to go through every data item on the 903/Ofsted Annex A lists and map those to the data items from the form (rather than specific questions). This means that, whilst specific data items may be collected by statutory returns, the questions mapped to those data items may not be the ones used by each LA to capture them. This was necessary as LAs often capture the same information in different ways and, without each LA providing a full list of which questions are statutory, it is impossible to know which questions are the ones that, the results of which, are compiled for returns. 64 DfE Project 2A: User research into social worker inputted data to CMS Structure: Information specific to each LA The next fields in the data matrix are specific to each LA. Some of these fields include:  LA Text – how the data item is named in local forms.  LA Forms – the name of the local form where the data item is collected.  Reason(s) why the data item was not found helpful by local practitioners.  The tag for the ‘unhelpful’ reason.  Data consumer feedback.  Data consumer feedback’s tag. Practitioner tags Feedback from practitioners is included in the data matrix for data items that were found ‘not helpful’. All feedback was tagged with one of the following tags: Duplication Practitioners feel it is a case of repetition, information filled in somewhere else.
