Footnotes

  1. Numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10. Percentages rounded to the nearest whole number. Figures in some tables may be suppressed, denoted by a 'c', percentages <0.5% are denoted by a 'k' . Historical data may differ from older children looked after publications which is mainly due to amendments made by local authorities after the publication. Figures exclude children looked after under a series of short-term placements.
  2. CLA are defined as placed ‘outside the neighbouring LAs’ when the placement is outside the responsible LA, outside the neighbouring LAs that share a physical border and over 20 miles from their home address.
