Recommendation 18
18
Data on reasons for out-of-area placements is essential for understanding and change.
Conclusion
We disagree with the Department’s view that data on the reasons for out- of-area placements are not needed. While data collection itself may not directly lead to improvements, it is essential to fully understand the nature and scale of the problem in order to effect meaningful change. (Conclusion, Paragraph 45)
