Footnotes

1. The initial category of abuse is that assessed when the child protection plan commenced.
2. The latest category of abuse is the most recent category of abuse assigned to the child protection plan. The latest category of abuse may be the same as the initial category of abuse.
3. A child becomes the subject of a child protection plan if they are assessed as being at risk of harm, at an initial child protection conference.
4. If a child is the subject of more than one child protection plan during the year, each plan is counted.
5. The 'Multiple' category refers to instances where there is more than one main category of abuse. Children included in this category are not included in any other category of abuse, therefore a child is counted only once overall.
