(1.) Figures exclude children looked after under an agreed series of short term placements. (2.) Children in residential care include children looked after and placed in secure unit, children placed in homes and hostels subject to children’s homes regulations, children placed in residential accommodation (hostels and supportive residential settings) not subject to children’s homes regulations, children placed in residential settings and children in all residential schools, except where dual-registered as a school and children’s home. (3.) Figures are taken from the SSDA903 return which for 2000 to 2003 have been derived from the one third sample, while figures for 2004 to 2008 cover all children looked after. (4.) Rounding and suppression—to ensure that no individual can be identified from statistical tables, we use conventions for rounding and suppression of very small numbers. England totals have been rounded to the nearest 100 if they exceed 1,000 and to the nearest 10 otherwise. Regional totals have been rounded to the nearest 10. All other numbers have been rounded to the nearest five, and numbers from one to five inclusive have been suppressed, being replaced in the published table by a hyphen (—). Source:
