Note: Some totals do not exactly equal the sum of their component parts due to the effects of rounding.
Highland revised their figure for the number of child deregistered during 2002-03, from 21 to 157.
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.
