Footnotes

1. A child in need is defined under the Children Act 1989 as a child who is unlikely to reach or maintain a satisfactory level of health or development, or their health or development will be significantly impaired without the provision of children's social care services, or the child is disabled.
2. A child may have more than one disability recorded, therefore the disability category percentages may not sum to 100.
3. Definition of disability under the Equality Act 2010: “You're disabled under the Equality Act 2010 if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a 'substantial' and 'long-term' negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities”. More information on what ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ mean is provided here: https://www.gov.uk/definition-of-disability-under-equality-act-2010
