Note: Children referred for child protection inquiries in Scotland in the year ended 31 March who were subject to a case conference and were registered as a result of that conference.
Highland revised their figure for the number of child protection registrations during 2002-03, from 100 to 171.
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.
