Footnotes

  1. If a child has more than one referral in a reporting year, then each referral is counted.
  2. 'LA services' includes referrals from social care, other internal local authority services and external local authority services.
  3. 'Individual' includes referrals from family members, relatives, carers, acquaintances and self-referrals.
  4. Data for the year ending 31 March 2021 is not available for Hackney local authority, therefore 2020 data for Hackney has been included in the 2021 national totals and regional totals for inner London and London. Refer to the methodology section for more information.
  5. The source of referral is recorded for each new referral. Where there is more than one referral for the same child on the same day, the first referral should be recorded.
  6. 'Health services' includes referral from GPs, health visitors, school nurses, other primary health services, A&E and other health services.
