Considering the breadth of forms used by LAs, it was not possible to create the data matrix by matching data items form-to-form, as LAs use many forms that do not match any form from other LAs. Form-to-form matching would be possible if only key forms were used, for instance Pathway Plan forms, CLA Review forms, and Care Plan forms. Instead, the data matrix was created by mapping together data items, which were then put into categories with similar items being placed in the same category.
