Note: This table includes children referred for child protection inquiries in Scotland in the year ended 31 March, who were subject to a case conference.
Highland revised their figure for the number of case conferences held during 2002-03, from 107 to 178.
In 2005 Aberdeenshire, Glasgow, Moray and Renfrewshire were unable to provide breakdowns for known/suspected abuser so figures are reported under unknown.
In previous years 'unknowns' were allocated to a category rather than being reported as unknown.
In 2005 Inverclyde were unable to provide information so 2004 data were used.
