In the Children's Services NMDS, this data element refers to the date of birth of the child attending the children’s service.

Implementation start date: 01/10/2011

DSS specific information:

In the CSTDA collection, if the age of the person is known, the age of the person should be used to derive the person’s year of birth. If the person’s age is not known, an estimate of the person’s age should be used to calculate an estimated year of birth. An actual or estimated year of birth should then be converted to an estimated date of birth according to the following convention: 01/01/estimated year of birth. Where the date of birth is estimated, this should be indicated when the data is submitted using the date estimate indicator.

It is important that service type outlets do not record estimated dates of birth by using ‘00’ for the day, month or year as this would not be considered a valid date by the system processing the data.

DSS specific information:

This data element should be collected for the client and for each accompanying child. The field is used in conjunction with the date accuracy indicator.

DSS specific information:

This collection requires a non-standard format for this data item: DD/MM/YYYY.

For children who were unborn at the time of the notification, estimated age can be calculated (e.g. – 1 month if due to be born in one month) from which an estimated date of birth (DOB) can be determined.

For children who were unborn at the time of the notification and who were subsequently born by 31 August, date of birth should be updated where possible.

When an estimate is required, all known fields should be entered (e.g. if only year is known use 01/01/YYYY, if year and month are known use 01/MM/YYYY.

If the date is not known and cannot be estimated, record as 01/01/1900.

If it is not applicable to record a date (i.e. the child has not been born by 31 August), record as 01/01/9999.
