Data calculation/treatment
Indicators are not mutually exclusive, so the sum of children across indicator types will be greater than the total number of people.
Ongoing Resourcing Scheme (ORS) funding data is linked to individual children within the Ministry of Education (MOE) Integrated Data Infrastructure data. This does not include ORS funding linked to schools (rather than individual children), other learning support services funded by MOE or by individual schools.
Limitations of the data
The main limitation associated with administration data sources is that they only reflect known and met need of children and young people, as detected by their service contact. This excludes children and young people with an unknown and/or unmet need, such as those who have impairments that are not yet diagnosed, who do not meet thresholds for funding, or who are not in contact with services.
