Dataset Quality

As government administrative data, this data can be considered relatively high quality. Although in theory it offers full coverage of all 32 local authorities in Scotland, returns were not received from all authorities in all years. For the 2010/11 return for instance, Highland was not included. Any omissions due to missing data are made clear in data tables and, to allow for comparison, these omissions are carried over into time series.

Dataset Access and Use

Accessible data tables are provided for 2010-2011, 2009-2010, 2008-2009, 2005-2008, 2005-2007 on the Scottish Government Website

Government attitudes to research use of their data appear favourable.
