Complicated matters requiring further clarification,request for urgent legal telephone advice and request for follow up on existing matters are referred tolegal service staff.The statistical data on the provision of information and referral is collected on the Port Phillip CommunityGroup database and is not incorporated at this stage into CLSIS. The data gathered is quite basic but doesprovide a good indication of the number of people who are assisted in the provision of legal information andreferral. The long term aim of both organisations is to engage an IT consultant to develop a more advanceddatabase that has the capacity to gather data that meets both organisations statistical requirements.Despite the best efforts of staff and volunteers to record PPCG and Legal Service data accurately,responding to client needs at times must be given priority to gathering data and therefore the statisticaldata that is collected could be under reported by at least 20%.4Separation3.1Taking child overseasTaking child overseas13.2Other problem typesOther problem types26 Annual Report 2006 – 2007
