Notes:

Figures are provisional and may be revised in 2008-09.

Figures include all episodes of ceasing to be looked after (i.e. a child may be counted more than once).

Falkirk and North Lanarkshire did not provide information on children ceasing to be looked after beyond minimum school-leaving age. Figures from 2006-07 for these authorities have been incorporated into this table.

Midlothian did not provide information for this table. The total numbers of children ceasing to be looked after above minimum school leaving age in this local authority have been included in the "not known" column, with the number who were looked after at home identified from Table 1.20.
