Dear Sir or Madam,

Under the freedom of information act I would like to know numerical
statistics in order by year during the period of 1998 to 2008 (or
as far back as you can go without charging me) for the following;

1) how many children were taken into local authority care on
interim care orders and emergency protection orders under the
catagory of emotional harm during the above period ? i do not wish
you to include any children for any other catagories 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
catagory 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.

Yours faithfully,

Angela Wileman

Dear Miss Wileman,

Thank you for your recent request. I am writing to ask you to clarify
your request. This is because we need further details from you in order to
identify and locate the information. Therefore I should be grateful if
you would advise which category you would like as we do not have a
category called `emotional harm' for looked after children. The
categories we do have are as follows:

Abuse Neglect

Disability

Parent Health Need

Family Acute Stress

Family dysfunction

Anti social behaviour

Low income

Absent parenting

Could you please advise the information you would like to receive.

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience

Dear Melanie Lang,

The catagories you have stated are only recorded by code on the
government computer.
Emotional harm would could under the abuse catagory although this
would have to be searched manually. Other counils are doing this
mainly the heads of childrens services but due to the time and cost
of searching through such files as LAC reviews most councils have
agreed to provide this information from 2004. This i am happy
with,i suggest you pass this request onto childrens services.

Yours sincerely,

Angela Wileman
