Service episode—episode start date, DDMMYYYY

DSS specific information:

This date is to be entered each time a child starts a placement. This may be the child's first placement or a change of placement.

This metadata item is used to determine the length of time in specific out-of-home placements, out-of-home care as a whole and also the number of different carers a child has.

Entered care is defined as when a child physically moves into a placement and this is supported by the child protection service. Alternatively, if the child is already living in the place of residence, it is when the child protection authority deems it to be an out-of-home care placement.

If the date is unknown, the date 01011900 should be provided.

DSS specific information:

An entry date should be recorded for each separate care and protection order episode of the child.

A new episode will begin and an entry date will be recorded in the following circumstances:

A child is placed on a care and protection order for the first time in their life.
A child is placed on a higher level order than the one they are currently on.
The higher level order expires and the child is placed on a lower level order. This date will be recorded once the higher level order expires.
A child moves from one jurisdiction to another and the order is transferred to the second jurisdiction.
In some circumstances, the entry date will be the same as the exit date from a previous episode, e.g. when a child moves directly from one level order to a different level order.

This data item delineates a care and protection order episode and is qualified by reason for entry.

DSS specific information:

A service is a support activity delivered to a person, in accord with the CSTDA. Services within the scope of the collection are those for which funding has been provided, during the specified period, by a government organisation operating under the CSTDA.

A service user is considered to have started receiving a CSTDA-funded service type once they have been judged as eligible for the service type and have actually received support within that service type. Support may include assessment processes once the service user has been accepted as eligible for the service type. However it does not include assessment where assessment is for eligibility or for a place on a waiting list. Support does not generally include requests for information or phone queries.

At times, an outlet may only provide the service user with one-off assistance. For example, a service user may only require respite care on one occasion. Where this assistance is CSTDA-funded, the general rule is that all service users details should be recorded as required for that service type. If the service user is not expected to use the service outlet again, an exit date and appropriate main reason for service cessation should be reported.

If a service user formally exits a service and then ‘re-enters’ a service, an exit date should be reported and a new service start date should be reported.

Service users who commence services after 1 October 2002, should have their actual commencement date recorded (i.e. the date this service type was first received by the service user from the service type outlet).

Existing service users (i.e. those who commenced services prior to October 2002), should either be recorded as commencing the service type on:

• their known service start date, for example, a service user starting on 2 September 2002 may be recorded as 02092002;
• an estimate of their service start date by recording ‘0101’ for the day and month and estimating the year. For example, if a service user has been receiving support from a service type outlet for about 5 years, the outlet would record the Service start date as 01011997’; or
• on 1 October 2002 (i.e. 01102002). This option is used if the start date is unknown or cannot be recorded for some other reason.

Start date, in conjunction with last service provision date, or exit date, gives some indication of length of stay of service users in the CSTDA program and of the intensity of service provision. In conjunction with the data element exit date, it can also be used to identify the number of CSTDA-funded service users as at the end of the CSTDA NMDS reporting period, and at any time.

Guide for use - Detention file

A detention period is the period spent in a particular detention centre for a particular type of detention (pre-court detention, pre-sentence detention, sentenced detention). A detention period starts when:

•        the young person is received into detention

•        the young person is transferred to another detention centre

•        the young person is transferred to the custody of another jurisdiction (e.g. adult corrective services, police custody, interstate)

•        the type of detention changes (pre-court detention, pre-sentence detention, sentenced detention)

•        the young person returns to detention following an escape or abscond.

Detention periods may be concurrent where the detention types are different; that is, the detention start date may be before the detention end date of the previous order. For example, a young person's period of sentenced detention begins 1 January and ends 1 June. On 1 February, they are placed on remand (pre-sentence detention) until 10 February. There are two detention periods, a period of sentenced detention from 1 January to 1 June and a period of pre-sentence detention from 1 February to 10 February.

Detention periods cannot be concurrent where the detention types are the same. If the young person in the example above is placed in sentenced detention following the end of period of remand on 10 February, this is included in the first period of sentenced detention. 

Implementation start date: 01/07/2005

DSS specific information:

For the purposes of the Juvenile Justice NMDS, the episode's 'start date' is the 'entry date'-the date on which the client comes under the supervision or case management of the juvenile justice department under a specific legal arrangement or where there is a change in the type of supervision provided and/or the specific juvenile justice agency responsible.

A new episode will begin and an entry date recorded in the following circumstances:

• On admission of the client to a specific period of supervision or case management by the juvenile justice department, under one of the types of intervention listed in the data domain of juvenile justice episode type;
• If, for an existing client, there is a change in juvenile justice episode type, such as from police custody to remand, supervised bail to remand, remand to detention, detention to parole, probation to community service;
• If, for an existing client, another juvenile justice episode type which is ranked more highly on the ranking scale outlined below, begins;
• If a client on a custodial order (remand or detention) is transferred to a different place of custody within a jurisdiction (for example from a detention centre in Sydney to one in Wagga);
• If a client is transferred from the adult justice system to the juvenile justice system;
• If a client is transferred into the State or Territory from another jurisdiction;
• If a client has returned from escape after an absence of 2 days or more.

A person can be recorded as being on only ONE juvenile justice episode at any point in time (i.e. they cannot have concurrent juvenile justice episodes). Therefore an Entry date must be followed by an Exit date for that episode, before another Entry date can be recorded. If a client is on 2 or more orders at a particular time in a jurisdiction, then the one considered the most serious should be recorded in the juvenile justice NMDS (with ranking as described in the juvenile justice episode data concept, with 1 being most serious and 12 being least serious).

If a client on a juvenile justice episode receives another order that is more highly ranked than the order for the original episode, then that original episode should be ended (and an Exit date recorded as the date the new more highly ranked type of order began). A new episode should be commenced (with an Entry date recorded as the date the new more highly ranked order began). The juvenile justice episode type of the second episode will be that of the more highly ranked type of order.

If the second order is of a lower ranking there will be no change in episode and no Exit date or Entry date recorded at the time the new order commences.

However, if the first order is completed by the juvenile, and the second order still applies and is the highest ranked order that is current at the time, then it should be recorded at that point. The Exit date for the second more highly ranked order will be when the client has been deemed to have completed the order. The Entry date for the lower ranked order will be the same date as the Exit date from the higher order, as that is the date when it becomes the most highly ranked order applying to the juvenile.

Approved leave does not constitute a discharge or new admission and so no entry date should be recorded on return from leave.

Escape or abscond, if the juvenile is absent for less than 2 days, does not constitute a discharge or new admission and so no entry date should be recorded on return (unless there is a change in the juvenile justice episode type on his or her return).

A return to court does not necessarily signal the beginning of a new episode. If there is no change in juvenile justice episode type of the client, or (if on a custodial intervention) in their place of custody, then a return to court will not constitute a discharge and new episode. For example, a youth on remand may return to court several times (for hearings, outcome, sentencing etc). During this time the type of intervention has not changed or the place of remand. In this case the returns to court would not constitute the beginning of a new episode. However, under this scenario, if the court changed the place of remand of the juvenile, then this would constitute a new episode. If the juvenile is found guilty the commencement of the sentence imposed by the court would also mark the beginning of an episode.

This date may not be the date that supervision began; for example, if a sentence of detention is backdated to the start of the young person’s remand period, the order start date will be before the period of sentenced detention actually began.
