Footnotes
- "Residential children's home" includes a small number of incidents that occurred in residential schools.
- Figures on children known to any agency need to be treated with caution. Whether a child was known to any agency is interpreted differently across local authorities. Some local authorities only include children known to Children's Social Care but in other cases can include agencies such as the police, GP services, health visitors, early help, midwifery, etc. Figures can include children involved with agencies previously, and not just at the time of incident. Information is recorded at the time of reporting. Local authorities may not yet know whether the child was known to any agency.
- Incidents involving child perpetrators are included in "other".
