Data Quality Statement - Dataset - Victoria SES Average Volunteer Tenure
Institutional Environment: Data collector(s): Victoria State Emergency Service Collection authority: Business requirements Data compiler(s): Victoria State Emergency Service Additional information: N/A Relevance: Data topic: This dataset details the average gender-based tenure of active Victoria SES volunteers, as it exists across each of the six Victoria SES regions. The period of tenure is measured in months. Level of geography: This dataset includes data that covers the entire state of Victoria Key data items: Tenure, gender, region Numerator / denominator source: N/A Additional information: N/A Timeliness: Data collected: Daily Data available: Daily Reference period: This is a snapshot of data available at 8 December 2014 Additional information: N/A Accuracy: Method of collection: This data is based on a start and end date which is entered into Victoria SES’ RMS (Resource Management System) database by regional officers. Data adjustments: Where a volunteer leaves the Service but then re-joins, the end date relevant to that volunteer is amended in such a way that the earlier end date is removed. The start date will remain as it was originally entered. This has the result that those volunteers who have left the Service will have a longer period of tenure recorded than is actually the case. It is not known how many volunteers this applies to. Sample size: N/A Collection size: 6 Data units Standard errors: N/A Under counts: N/A Over counts: See Data adjustments.
