I like to make a FOI about the number of children in Devon who become ‘looked after children’ under s.20 of the Children Act after they turn 16?
I would appreciate it if the information could that shows trends over the past 5 years.
As not specified we are using a reporting year which runs 1st April to 31st March.
All figures relate to total number of individual children who became looked after who were 16+ when they became looked after under Sec. 20 as requested within FOI. If a child had two separate periods of care within same reporting year that match this criteria they will be counted only once.
Reporting Year | 22/23 | 21/22 | 20/21 | 19/20 | 18/19 |
Number of Children | 74 | 40 | 31 | 43 | 39 |
