Bloody hell - until I looked at the digram, I did no realise - this is pure profiling. What has benefit data got to do with a child at risk. As per Housing - this is profile of people because they live on the 'wrong' estate.

"Accessing Out of Work benefits" is saying the child may be at risk. "Teenage Parent" is used as an indicator.


Yeah, that's the point. It's identifying people who need help.


Scary. Just having an EHCP (Educational Health Care Plan) is an indicator...


Health data, including mental health data, is fed into the system.
