Note: Table excludes children who are on a planned series of short term placements.
In previous years 'unknowns' were allocated to a category rather than being reported as unknown.
Table records episodes of care which have begun. A child may start to be looked after more than once in a year and so may be counted more than once here.
Changes between 2003-04 and 2004-05 are partly due to improved recording.
Rates per population based on GRO(Scotland) June 2004 population estimates.
