Dear  Lynn Daley 
 
I am writing to confirm that the Council has now completed its search for the information you 
requested on 1st July, 2009.  
 
Below are your questions and our answers to them: 
 
1. Number of electively home educated children known to your LA. 150 
2. Number of electively home educated children who have a care plan in place due to concerns of 
abuse. 0 
3. Total number of all children in your LA.  94,755  (This is a figure provided to us by Education 
Leeds for children of school age i.e. 4-16 year olds.) 
4. Total number of children who have a care plan in place due to concerns of abuse.  252 (This is the 
figure for 4-16 year olds who are currently on the Child Protection Register, as at 20th July 09.  This 
is to match the number of known children provided by Education Leeds). 
 
If you have any queries about this letter, please contact me. Please remember to quote the 
reference number above in any future communications.  
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a 
complaint or request a review of our decision, you should write to: The Complaints Manager, Adult 
Social Care, Merrion House, 110 Merrion Centre, Leeds LS2 8QB 
 
If you are not content with the outcome your complaint, you may apply directly to the Information 
Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted 
the complaints procedure provided by Social Care. The Information Commissioner can be contacted 
at: The Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 
5AF. 
 
Yours sincerely
