Referrals to children's social care within 12 months of earlier referral (%) (2229) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the percentage of all referrals to children's social care which are within 12 months of an earlier referral.
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. Children in need are those who have been referred to the local authority and have been assessed to be in need of services. These services can include, for example, family support (to help keep together families experiencing difficulties), leaving care support (to help young people who have left local authority care), adoption support, or disabled children's services (including social care, education and health provision). Taken from Characteristics of Children in need, table C1.
