Against a backdrop of high caseloads and tight deadlines this has been reported as burdensome by some practitioners. However, at other times it is helpful to have the form or data item guide the practitioner in their conversation with children, young people, and families. 4.2.3 Theme 3: Data we do not collect that could be useful Key insights  An output requested by the DfE was to produce “a secondary list of any information or data items that the social workers are not asked to record but consider they should be recording – and why”.
