Emotional and behavioural health of looked after children - average score (2135) Metric type
- Help text
- This measure looks at the emotional and behavioural health of looked after children. It presents the average score for children looked after at 31 March for whom a Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was completed. A higher score on the SDQ indicates more emotional difficulties. A score of 0-13 is considered normal, a score of 14-16 is considered borderline cause for concern and a score of 17 and over is a cause for concern.
An SDQ score is required for those children aged 5 to 16 who had been looked after continuously for at least twelve months at the 31 March. This information is collected in the SSDA903 return for year ending 31 March.
