The resulting report, Linking SAAP, child protection and juvenile justice data collections: a feasibility study (AIHW 2008b), found that both the juvenile justice and SAAP data collections were suitable for linkage, as would be the unit-record child protection data collection, when implemented, and that analysis of such a linked data set would provide valuable information for improving services for young people and for implementing, monitoring and evaluating targeted interventions to prevent young people from entering these sectors.
