assigned, such as identifying support needs on a scale of 1-10, were largely found to be unhelpful (discussed in theme 2 in the Data captured without context section) in providing information for quantitative purposes. However, what was found to be helpful is the discussion between the social worker and child/young person and assessing the level of need at that point in time, which this type of question generates: “Shows how the young person is progressing. It’s not about making someone a number; it’s about having the discussion. A numerical scale can be helpful in assessing need.” (Practitioner) Data consumers observed that these types of questions are subjective but felt they do not need to be seen as complicated. They pointed out that there is guidance to follow provided in the question. Another subjective question is an open-ended question which asks the child/young person to provide feedback on the support they are receiving from their CSC team. Data consumers place value on these questions as, even if only a few responses are gained, it provides insights for the service. An example of an open-ended question which both the practitioners and data consumers found to be helpful for service insights is one where practitioners are asked for their views regarding the support and care in place for the child/young person: “Highest context has to be practice; we need to know that we are doing good work.” (Data consumer) Flexibility Forms with no flexibility in how they are used to input information were largely found to be unhelpful for practitioners. However, when they are flexible, practitioners highlighted this as being valuable to their practice of record keeping: “The good thing about this form is that you can select the sections you want to fill in and a lot of youngs
