Footnotes

  1. National and regional numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10. Historical data may differ from older publications which is mainly due to amendments made by local authorities after the previous publication.
  2. Children looked after exclusively under one or more agreed series of short term placements at any time during the years ending 31 March. Note that children may be provided with with short breaks as 'children in need' or as 'children looked after' so these figures will be an undercount of the total number of children provided with short breaks.
