1. In 2021, 2022, 2023, how many children have been taken into care because their mother was remanded into custody? This could either be the number of children in total or the number of instances when it has happened (whichever data is held or if possible, both)
2. How many were returned to their mother within 1 week upon release?
Devon County Council believes compliance with these requests would exceed the appropriate cost limit under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which is £450 or 18 hours of officer time. We do not hold a centralised database of this information, and as such we would need to manually check each care file. Based on the requested time period this would mean checking 658 records to check and it would take 10 minutes to check each one.
