    Footnotes

    1. Numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10. Percentages rounded to the nearest whole number. See the methodology document for further information. Figures exclude children looked after under a series of short-term placements. Historical data may differ from older publications which is mainly due to amendments made by local authorities after the previous publication.
    2. Placement locality denotes whether or not the placement is within the geographical boundary of the responsible LA.
