For clarification, in these tables, * refers to the totals which are very low and where disclosure would risk identifying the family concerned where siblings had been allocated.   This would be a breach of the first data protection principle and this information is therefore exempt pursuant to s.40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

5. The ‘furthest distance’ or ‘last distance offered’, as measured in km/miles or metres, each year

In response to this question, please find available the attached spreadsheets below for the years requested:

For clarification, all measurements are in Metres, where the measurement is 99,9999 this is an address outside of Devon that it is not possible to measure. All measurements are as the crow flies, using GIS software.  Any blanks in these tables are caused by an area where Devon County Council do not hold the information.
