Note: (1) Table excludes children who are on a planned series of short term placements.
Note: (2) Table includes rounded estimates for local authorities not able to provide information.
Note: (3) Some totals do not exactly equal the sum of their component parts due to the effects of rounding.
Note: (4) 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.
