rt available to them in their current roles. Several respondents said that recording what happened to children during their involvement with Children's Services was an important part of the social workers role but that there were other admin and practical tasks that could safely be done by non-social workers. Johnson et al., (2023) go into detail about the different types of tasks including more specialised admin tasks such as taking calls from families, answering questions and possible messages, carrying out standard checks and health checks for foster carers, preparing for analogies and court paperwork, which they felt could also be safely carried out by others and reduce pressure. This included recording direct contact they had with children and families and having support writing up documents involving social work analysis, such as case summaries, assessments and reports. 28 DfE Project 2A: User research into social worker inputted data to CMS 4. Findings As explained in the introduction, only LAs with an Ofsted rating of good or outstanding were involved in this project. While this can be seen to be positive by drawing on the views of practice from higher-rated authorities, it is important to be aware that these LAs still face challenges with recording. The challenges and difficulties encountered by them could potentially be amplified in LAs who do not rate as highly. 4.1 Phase 1: Developing a data matrix Key insights  All data items and information collected is considered helpful by practitioners to record in their work with children, young people, and families  Most data items are collected as ‘local’ data’ but types of local data varies across LAs  A small number of data items, 38 out of 1,575, is collected by all four participating LAs as local data Qualitat
