  2. Definition

    An algorithm has been developed to improve the ALF matching within Children Looked After (CLA) dataset. As part of this algorithm, Read Codes V2 were used to find parents and children that have a care related episode in the Welsh Longitudinal General Practice (WLGP) dataset to identify an ALF based on the child's week of birth, gender and event LSOA as well as the episode and event date to match records across WLGP and CLA. Read codes for care related episodes include, but are not limited to: adoption, fostering, emergency care, parents who are approved for adopting/fostering and referrals to social services.
