East Renfrewshire, Scottish Borders and North Lanarkshire did not provide information in time for inclusion. 2004-05 figures for these authorities have been incorporated into this table and do not include young people aged 18-21. South Lanarkshire could not provide this information so the total number of children starting to be looked after in that authority has been entered as 'not known'.
A child may start to be looked after more than once during the year and will be counted once for each episode of care beginning.
* represents figures less than 5 that have been suppressed for confidentiality reasons.
