1. Source: Figures are taken from the SSDA903 return.
2. Figures exclude children looked after under an agreed series of short term placements.
3. Historical data may differ from older publications. This is mainly due to the implementation of amendments and corrections sent by some local authorities after the publication date of previous materials.
4. National figures have been rounded to the nearest 100 if they exceed 1,000 and to the nearest 10 otherwise, with the exception of numbers from one to five inclusive which for confidentiality purposes have been replaced by a hyphen (-). Where any number is shown as zero (0), the original figure submitted was zero (0). It has been necessary to suppress other figures whenever it would be possible to calculate the value of a suppressed number by means of simple arithmetic. The rule applied in these circumstances has been to suppress the next smallest data item provided its value is strictly less than 20.
