Notes: Figures exclude cases where the requirement was imposed after commencement. Orders where the client did not/was unable to comply or orders transferred from another jurisdiction are included in the 'not known/applicable' category. These cases are not included in the percentage figures. Some local authorities were not able to provide complete information for some of the years 2013-14 to 2017-18.
1. Figures for 2015-16 and 2016-17 have been revised from those previously published due to the receipt of updated information from some councils.
