Subject: Freedom of Information request - looked after children

The Mayor would like to thank you for your interest in his work and he is
keen to answer your query as quickly and fully as possible. As you will
appreciate, he receives very large amount of correspondence but he is
committed to responding to your query within 20 working days.

However, the Greater London Authority (GLA) will only respond to queries
that relate to its work and will refer relevant queries to the appropriate
functional body for them to reply e.g. transport related queries will be
referred to Transport for London (TfL).

Please note that the GLA does not accept unsolicited job applications or
C.V's. Information on current vacancies is available on our website at:

Dear Angela,

Thank you for you request for information. You have asked for;

1. How many children were taken into local authority care on interim care orders and emergency protection orders under the category of emotional harm during the above period? I do not wish you to include any children for any other categories of harm/abuse.

2. Out of these children who were taken into care for emotional harm how many of them were specifically for domestic violence between their parents? again i do not wish you to include children who had violence directed at them as that would fall into a different category being physical abuse.

3. Out of these children who were put into care for domestic violence how many were returned to family or extended family?

4. Out of these how many children were put on full care orders?

5. Of the children put on full care orders how many were adopted during these periods.

This information is not held by the Greater London Authority. The latest stats on Children in care are on the DCSF website http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/rsgateway/DB/SFR/...

For unpublished statistics you will need to contact DCSF for this information.

Yours sincerely

Paul Robinson
Information Governance Officer
