Summary

The number of Children In Care at 31 March in the financial year, for Lincolnshire and by District.

This dataset shows the number of:

  • Children In Need
  • Children In Care by Home Address
  • Children In Care by Placement Address

The term 'Children In Care' includes all children accommodated by the local authority, i.e. those subject to a care order under section 31 of the Children Act 1989; and those looked after on a voluntary basis with the agreement of their parents under section 20 of that Act.

Numbers below 5 have been removed, and where needed one or more additional counts of 5 or greater have also been removed. This means some records may be omitted and figures might not tally precisely.

The data is updated annually. Data source: Lincolnshire County Council Children's Services. For any enquiries about this publication contact childrenstargetedreporting@lincolnshire.gov.uk
