Footnotes
- National and regional numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10. Percentages rounded to the nearest whole number. Figures exclude children looked after under a series of short-term placements.
- Social workers are only counted once for each child during the year. For example, if a child had a social worker, moved to a different social worker, then back to the original social worker during the course of the year, then this would count as 2 social workers during the year.
- Figures exclude Barnet who did not complete a social worker data return and one child from Darlington with missing social worker episodes for the correct period.
