Notes: Table excludes children who are on a planned series of short term placements.

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

The question on the form was amended slightly in 2008 to ask for the number of young people with a pathway plan/coordinator on the date they left care. Previously the question asked for the number with a plan on the 31st March. For this reason data from 2007-08 is not strictly comparable with 2006-07 and should be treated with caution.

Falkirk and North Lanarkshire did not provide information on children ceasing to be looked after beyond minimum school-leaving age. Fife's figures from 2006-07 have been incorporated into the totals in this table. However, as North Lanarkshire did not provide these figures in 2006-07 either, no data for North Lanarkshire have been included in the percentages.

For 2006-07, table includes estimates wherever local authorities were not able to provide data.
