Information on close support accommodation was collected for the first time in 2010. Reported usage relates only to close support care provided in dedicated close support units, and does not include any close support provided in alternative settings.
Due to small numbers, some disability categories cannot be reported. Those with 'medically diagnosed social, emotional and behavioural difficulties' and those with 'Other social, emotional & behavioural difficulties' have been combined under 'Social, emotional and behavioural difficulties'. Note that a young person can have multiple disabilities.
