The information in the table below should assist with the preparation of character assessments. Not all of the sources of information presented in the table will necessarily be available or relevant to every type of study. Data will depend on the scale of the study and its purpose, rather than ‘using data for its own sake’. Available budget may also influence the level and type of data used in studies. As such, the information set out in the table is a starting point for those undertaking a study to choose from, identifying sources appropriate for their purposes.
