Number of children looked after who had their annual health assessment (2141) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of children looked after continuously for at least twelve months as at 31 March, who had their annual health assessment.
Health assessments must be carried out by a doctor or other suitably qualified professional twice a year for those under 5 years of age. Both these assessments must be carried out in order for the annual assessment requirement to be satisfied for under 5s. For those aged 5 or over, a single annual assessment fulfils the requirement. Children who decline to have a health assessment are reported as not having received an annual assessment.
