5. Known to social care
25 of the 90 LAs asked responded (28% response rate).
Based on the data we have from the 25 LAs, the average (median) proportion of EHE children per LA known to social care is approximately 7%. We estimate there are approximately 3% of children (5-16 years) known to social care in maintained schools.
Within the 25 LAs for which we have data, there were 477 registered home educated children who were currently known to social care.
On average (median) 7 children per LA are known to social care.
Extrapolating to the national level (150 LAs), this means around 1350 home educated children are known to social care in some capacity (6.75%).
Known to social care includes Section 17, 37 or 47 enquiries.
Using 2005 data (the latest available), these are approximate figures and include disabled children.
