CHILDREN LOOKED AFTER STATISTICS 2009-10
Scotland's Chief Statistician today published Children Looked After Statistics 2009-10. This publication contains statistics on children who were looked after by or eligible for aftercare services from local authorities between 1 August 2009 and 31 July 2010.
The main findings are:
- At 31 July 2010 there were 15,892 children looked after by local authorities, an increase of 4 per cent since 31 March 2009. The number of children looked after has increased every year since 2001, and is at its highest since 1982. (Table 1.1, Chart 1).
- Of the 15,892 children looked after on 31 July 2010, 14,999 (94 per cent) of them had a current care plan (Table 1.2).
- There were 4,859 children who started to be looked after during 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010, a decrease of 7 per cent compared with 1 April 2008 to 31 March 2009. (Table 1.3).
- There were 4,504 children who ceased being looked after during 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010, an increase of 3 per cent compared with 1 April 2008 to 31 March 2009. (Table 1.4).
- Fifty one per cent of young people ceasing to be looked after above school leaving age during 1 August 2009 and 31 July 2010 had a pathway plan on the date they were discharged, and 69 per cent had a pathway coordinator. (Table 1.5).
- There were 3,918 young people reported to be eligible for aftercare services on 31 July 2010. Thirty seven per cent of those receiving aftercare and who had a known economic activity were in education, training or employment, an increase of 2 percentage points on 31 March 2009. (Table 1.6).
- At 31 July 2010 there were 1,757 children being looked after on a current planned series of short term placements. Sixty three per cent of all these were looked after in residential establishments. (Table 1.7).
The following charts are available:

REVISIONS TO 2008-09 DATA
1. East Ayrshire, East Renfrewshire, Midlothian and Moray all made some revisions to parts of their 2008-09 looked after and/or their young persons eligible for aftercare services data. These revisions have all been incorporated into these published tables (including the additional tables also available).
2. Revisions to previously published statistics are carried out in accordance with the Scottish Government Corporate Policy Statement on Revisions and Corrections. This statement is available at: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Statistics/About/NatStats.
Chart 1 and Table 1.1 shows the number of looked after children, and the rate per 1,000 population aged 0-18 years, by type of placement for the years 1987 to 2010.
At 31 July 2010, there were 15,892 children being looked after by local authorities. This represents 14.3 per 1,000 children of the 0-18 year old population. The number of, and rate per 1,000 population aged 0-18 years, has been increasing every year since 2001.
The number of looked after children at 31 July 2010 is at its highest level since 1982.
The number of looked after children by placement type shows that the increase over the past 10 years is due to a general increasing number of children being looked after in community settings ( i.e. at home, with foster carers/prospective adopters, with friends/relatives and other community settings), whereas the number of looked after children for children in residential care, which was on a decline throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, but remained fairly static between the years 2000 to 2007, has started to decline again since 2007.
The number of children being looked after by foster carers/prospective adopters or in other community placements (including with friends/relatives) are at their highest levels on record, whilst the number of children being looked after in residential care is at its lowest level on record.

Notes: Table excludes planned series of short term placements.
Figures for 2010 are provisional and may be revised in 2010-11.
Figures for 2009 are revised
Prior to 2008, table includes estimates wherever local authorities were not able to provide data.
Young people aged 18-21 are included from 2006 onwards, and figures for 2009 include a small number of over 21yr olds.
Table includes rounded estimates for local authorities not able to provide information in all years up to 2004. For this reason, the total for all children looked after may not exactly equal the sum of its component parts.
For cells shown as "-", figures are not available.
Figures are estimates for 1975, 1994, 1995 and 1996.
"Other community placement" includes "with friends/relatives" as well as "in other community".
Table 1.2 shows the number of children being looked after at 31 July 2010 who had, or did not have, a current care plan.
When children become looked after, a care plan should be produced. The care plan should include detailed information about the child's care, education and health needs, as well as the responsibilities of the local authority, the parents and the child. Other aspects will include details of the child's living arrangements and the involvement (if any) of the child's parents in decisions that may affect the child. The plan should also indicate how long the arrangement is expected to last, how it will come to an end and what will happen at the end. A care plan is considered 'current' if it has been produced or reviewed in the past 12 months.
At 31 July 2010, of the 15,892 children who were being looked after, 14,999 (94 per cent) of them had a current care plan. A slightly higher proportion of children who were being looked after away from home had a current care plan than those who were being looked after at home.

Table 1.3 shows the number of children who started being looked after between 2000-01 to 2009-10. Please note that a child will be counted more than once if they started being looked after more than once during the reporting year.
There were 4,859 children who started to be looked after during 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010. This was a decrease of 7 per cent compared with the period 1 April 2008 to 31 March 2009 and is its lowest level since 2005-06.
This decrease was largely as a result of a large fall in the number of children aged 12-15 years of age starting to be looked after during 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010 compared with previous years.
The number of children aged under 5 years at the time of starting to be looked after has increased every year since 2004-05.

Notes: Table excludes planned series of short term placements.
Figures for 2009-10 are provisional and may be revised in 2010-11.
Falkirk did not provide information on children starting to be looked after in 2007-08.
Figures for 2009 are revised.
Prior to 2008, table includes rounded estimates wherever local authorities were not able to provide information.
Prior to 2005 'unknowns' were allocated to a category rather than being reported as unknown. For this reason, totals do not always exactly equal the sum of their parts, due to rounding.
The number of looked after children aged 18+ was not asked for prior to 2006.
A child may start to be looked after more than once in a year and so may be counted more than once.
Changes between 2003-04 and 2004-05 are partly due to improved recording.
The 18-21 category in this table may include a small number of looked after young people who were over 21yrs
Due to rounding, the percentage totals may not equal the sum of their parts
The number of children starting to be looked after during 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010 was 5,191.
Table 1.4 shows the number of children who ceased being looked after between 2000-01 to 2009-10. Please note that a child will be counted more than once if they ceased being looked after more than once during the reporting year.
There were 4,504 children who ceased being looked after during 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010. This was an increase of 3 per cent compared with the period 1 April 2008 to 31 March 2009.
The number of children who had been looked after for 1 year or more at the time of ceasing to be looked after has increased every year since 2004-05, whereas the number of children who had been looked after for less than 1 year at the time of ceasing to be looked after fell for the second consecutive year.

Notes: Table excludes children who are on a planned series of short term placements.
Figures for 2010 are provisional and may be revised in 2010-11.
Fife did not provide information on children ceasing to be looked after in 2007-08. Fife's figures from 2006-07 have been incorporated into this table for 2007-08.
Falkirk did not provide information on length of time looked after for children ceasing to be looked after in 2007-08. The total numbers of children ceasing to be looked after in this local authority for 2007-08 have been included as "not known".
Prior to 2008, table includes estimates wherever local authorities were not able to provide data.
In 2000 to 2004 some totals do not exactly equal the sum of their component parts due to the effects of rounding estimated figures.
A child may cease to be looked after more than once during the year and will be counted once for each episode of care ending.
Some totals do not exactly equal the sum of their component parts due to the effects of rounding.
Figures for 2009 are revised.
The number of children ceasing to be looked after during 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010 was 4,625.
Table 1.5 shows the number of children who were beyond their minimum school leaving age on the date they ceased being looked after during 2009-10. Please note that a child will be counted more than once if they ceased being looked after more than once during the reporting year.
Fifty one per cent of young people ceasing to be looked after above their minimum school leaving age during 1 August 2009 and 31 July 2010 had a pathway plan on the date they were discharged, and 69 per cent had a pathway coordinator.
If a young person's final placement type was 'at home' then only 43 per cent of them had a pathway plan on the date of discharge, compared with 60 per cent of those whose final placement type was 'away from home'.
Similarly, if a young person's final placement type was 'at home', then only 62 per cent of them had a pathway co-ordinator, compared with 77 per cent of those whose final placement type was 'away from home'.
