ANNEX 6: DATA SOURCE METHODOLOGY
The data sets referenced throughout this report were initially identified through a web search (supplemented by telephone follow up) and through reference to existing publications. In particular, the following two reports were extremely helpful:
Williamson, L (2005) Guide to data sources for Scotland, Manchester: Economic and Social Data Service ( ESDS) Government University of Manchester http://www.esds.ac.uk/government/docs/ScotlandGuide.pdf
Hinds K, Sproston K and Taylor R (2001) Data sources for social research in Scotland (2001) Edinburgh: Scottish Executive http://www.scotland.gov.uk/cru/kd01/blue/dssr.pdf
Following the collation of a full and up-to-date data map, sources were assessed for relevance to CtOG. The sources considered to be of the most relevance were then reviewed to determine which aspects of the programme evaluation they would be of most relevance for.
