Looked-after Children Helen Jones To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many and what percentage of children are looked after children in each local authority with one or more academies; and how many and what percentage of children at each academy in each such authority are looked after children. Mr. Dhanda [holding answer 27 November 2006]: Information on the number of children looked after by each local authority with one or more academies and the rate per 10,000 children is shown in the following table. The Department does not currently have complete information on the schools attended by looked-after children and so cannot provide the number and percentage in academies. This information may become available when the statistical collection on children looked after by local authorities is linked to the School Census in 2007.
