Written question asked by Ian Lavery (Labour) on Wednesday, 23 January 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 28 January 2019. It was answered by Nadhim Zahawi (Conservative) on Friday, 1 February 2019 on behalf of the Department for Education.


Children

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, for what reasons there has been an increase in the number of (a) looked-after children, (b) child protection plans and (c) children in need since 2010.

Answer

Due to discontinuity in methods used for some of the data collected, we only look at trends in these numbers starting from 2013. I therefore refer the hon. Member for Wansbeck to the answer I gave on 17 December 2018 to Question 202744 raised by the hon. Member Stephen Lloyd.
