Footnotes

  1. Rates per 10,000 children are calculated based on ONS mid-year population estimates for children aged 0 to 17 years. Revised/new population estimates for 2012 to 2022, based on 2021 Census data, were used to calculate revised rates for 2013 to 2023 in this publication.
  2. Data for the years ending 31 March 2021 and 2022 is not available for Hackney local authority, therefore 2020 data for Hackney has been included in the 2021 and 2022 national totals and regional totals. Data for the year ending 31 March 2024 is not available for Hampshire local authority, therefore 2023 data for Hampshire has been included in the 2024 national and regional totals. Refer to the methodology page for more information.
  3. The duration of an assessment is calculated as the time in working days between the assessment start date and the assessment end date.
