Children in need as at 31 March (number) (276) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of children in need as at 31st March. Figures have been calculated by DfE based upon all information provided in the Children in need return. A child in need is one who has been referred to children's social care services, and who has been assessed to be in need of social care services. The number supported during the year may be much higher, as numerous episodes of care will have started and finished during the year. This is an indicative number of cases supported by the authority at any one point in time. The total figures for England and regional totals are rounded to the nearest 10. Sub totals may not add up to the England total and regional totals due to rounding. Taken from Characteristics of Children in need, table B1, it is also present in table B2.
