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.
With best wishes,
Kerren Davey
