1. Table excludes children who are on a planned series of short term placements.
2. Table includes rounded estimates for local authorities not able to provide information.
Some totals do not exactly equal the sum of their component parts due to the effects of rounding.
3. Table records episodes of care which have ended. A child may cease to be looked after more than once in a year and so may be counted more than once here.
