520 _aThe Ministry of Social Development has released a report it commissioned as part of the White Paper, ‘Vulnerable Children: Can administrative data be used to identify children at risk of adverse outcomes?’ It was prepared by the Centre for Applied Research in Economics (CARE), Department of Economics, The University of Auckland. It uses 'Predictive Risk Modelling' (PRM), an automated algorithm which harvests data from a variety of sources. The authors use PRM to generate a risk score for the probability of a maltreatment finding for each child at the start of any main welfare benefit spell involving the child. A maltreatment finding is defined as a substantiated finding of emotional, physical or sexual abuse or neglect by age 5. This is a controversial area. Discussion of this research is available on the Clearinghouse website - follow the Read news item link.
