Having spoken briefly to Julie, here is some Child Protection data which may be of some help with this request. With best wishes, Kerren Davey Management Information Officer Tel 90 36155 >>> Kerren Davey 12/05/2009 15:40 >>> Hello! Sorry not to have replied to you sooner - there's a huge amount on here at the moment. At 31-03-09 there were 345 children who were the subjects of Child Protection Plans in Bristol. Of these, 165 were of school age - from year 0 (reception) to year 11. According to the 2007 mid-year population estimates, there were 49,500 children aged 5 to 16 in Bristol. So the ratio of school-aged CP cases to school-aged general population is 1 : 300. The main categories or reasons for the Child Protection plans of these 165 children were: Physical harm or abuse 22 13.3% Emotional harm 73 44.2% Sexual abuse 22 13.3% Neglect 48 29.1% TOTAL 165 100.0% Often, children with a Child Protection plan are in sibling groups, so the 165 cases mentioned above relate to fewer than 100 families. Similarly, the 22 instances of children at risk of sexual abuse are likely to be in about a dozen families. The database which contains information on the child protection status of children does not contain information detailed information about their schooling. Therefore it is not possible to show exactly which schools these children attend. C Murton is interested in the numbers of children “of compulsory school age who are, or claimed to be, electively home educated and who have suspected or found to be involved in child abuse, neglect, forced marriage, sexual exploitation or domestic servitude”. My understanding from you is that there are 70 children who are ‘educated otherwise’ in Bristol. As there is a ratio of school-aged CP cases to school-aged children in the general population is 1 : 300, it is unlikely that there are any school-aged children on with a Child Protection Plan who are ‘educated otherwise’. I hope this is of some help. Please let me know if you have any queries.
