· employees working in the homes of service users (where possible, record the unit which acts as the employee's base or HQ)

· employees working in varied settings such as day centres, health centres, schools etc (where possible, record the unit which acts as the employee's base or HQ)

Code 97 (not disclosed) should be used where the employee is asked to provide the information, but declines to do so. Code 99 (not known) should be recorded where the information is not known for any reason OTHER than non-disclosure.

For main categories with sub-categories (ie. 10, 30 & 40), information system implementers can choose whether to allow the main categories to be selectable (so that data recorders have the option not to provide sub-category detail), or to allow only their sub-categories to be selectable (so that data recorders are forced to provide appropriate sub-category detail).

NI number

Definition: A reference number that is issued to a person by the DWP/IR for participants in the UK National Insurance Scheme. (GDSC)

Format/Codes: 9 characters

The NI number is required in this dataset as an identifier purely for the purposes of ensuring that data about an individual employee from a potentially wide range of sources over a potentially long period of time relates consistently to the same person. The data can then be analysed "longitudinally" to give insight into the dynamics and patterns of people's career pathways on a strictly anonymised basis. It will NEVER be used to identify actual individuals per se.

Date of birth

Format/Codes: date format (DD-MM-CCYY)

As with NI number, this item will NEVER be used to identify actual individuals per se.

00 = No

01 = Yes

99 = Not known

Record one value only.

Code 00 (non-specific service user group(s)) should be used for employees whose job is not directly attributable to specific service user group(s). Some administrative and other support jobs in a Local Authority Social Work Department will fall into this category (eg. Admin Support, Finance, Human Resources etc). However, administrative and other support jobs which can be attributed to one or more service user groups should be recorded against the appropriate categories.
