Figures between one and five inclusive have been suppressed and replaced by a hyphen"—". It has on occasion been necessary to suppress other data whenever it would be possible to calculate missing data by means of simple arithmetic. In these circumstances the second smallest number relating to the same variable is suppressed. 3 Historical data may differ from older publications. In previous years, data in this table would have been extracted from CLA100. To be consistent with the method used throughout the statistical volume published on 29 March 2007, data are now taken from the SSDA903 throughout and the breakdowns may therefore differ from figures in previous publications. 4 Figures exclude children looked after under an agreed series of short term placements. 5 This category includes the following legal statuses: interim care orders; full care orders; on remand, or committed for trial or sentence, and accommodated by LA; detained in LA accommodation under PACE; and sentenced to CYPA 1969 supervision order with residence requirement. 6 This category includes the legal status of single period of accommodation under section 20. 7 This category includes the following legal statuses: freeing order granted; placement order granted; accommodated under an agreed series of shorter-term breaks, when individual episodes of care are recorded and when agreements are recorded (i.e., not individual episodes of care); under police protection and in local authority accommodation; emergency protection order and; under child assessment order and in local authority accommodation.
