IntroductionRecord linkage has existed for decades, regarded as an activity where an entity is ascertained across different data sources. Initially medically driven to determine further outcomes. Developments in technology led to cheaper computing and storage, which ushered capture of information beyond the primary entities such as carer’s details.
 Objectives and ApproachAdministrative datasets that capture an event involving a child would more often than not, capture information about their parents or carers including relationship to the primary entity within the record.
