Last updated

Local authority level data for children looked after on 31 March for at least 12 months, by OC2 indicators. These are whether the child:

  • was convicted or subject to youth cautions, or youth conditional cautions during the year
  • was identified as having a substance misuse problem, and if so, if they were offered an intervention and if they refused it
  • had their annual health assessment
  • had their immunisations up to date
  • had their teeth checked by a dentist
  • had their development assessments are up to date, if they were under 5 years old

And also information on Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) scores.

For some local authorities, the figures may be impacted by significant numbers of unaccompanied asylum seeking children.

Data for 2023 excludes Barnsley LA who were unable to provide outcomes data for 247 children in time for this release.
