Sarah McCarthy-Fry: The OC2 data collection collects information on a range of outcomes and indicators for children looked after for at least 12 months from local authorities.

Information on the number of looked after children who had a statement of special educational needs during the year can be found in table A, which also includes figures for all children as a comparison.

This information was first collected in 2000, figures for earlier years are also published on the Department’s website and can be found via the following links:

Figures for 2002-04 are available in volume reference (03/2005) here:

Sarah McCarthy-Fry: The requested information is only available from 2003 onwards. Changes to data collections and definitions over time mean that for 2003 and 2004 the figures cover pupils aged 15. For 2005 onwards, the figures cover pupils at the end of their key stage 4 studies. As the figures require details of pupil characteristics (i.e. SEN), they are only available for maintained schools.
