Rate of referrals to children's social care per 10,000 children (2226) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of referrals to children's social care, per 10,000 population under 18. A referral is defined as a request for services to be provided by children's social care and is in respect of a child who is currently not assessed to be in need. A referral may result in an initial assessment of the child's needs, the provision of information or advice, referral to another agency or no further action. New information relating to children who are already assessed to be a child in need is not counted as a referral. If a child has more than one referral in the year then each instance is counted. Taken from Characteristics of Children in need, table C1.
