eSAY National Learning Disability and Autistic Spectrum Disorder Dataset V4.0 Map

Year of Birth

Definition : The person’s year of birth. This should conform to recognised recording standards, i.e. it should be the full century year of birth (CCYY).

Purpose : Year of birth allows for aggregated service planning/development information to be generated on the basis of age groupings. E.g. information about young children nearing school leaving age, adults and older people may be required for strategic planning purposes.

Recording Guidance : It is recognised that full date of birth is more useful for local service provision, however, to preserve anonymity only year of birth should be extracted for national returns.
