Dear Ms Wileman

Further to your recent Freedom of Information request which we received on
1 October 2009, please find below the information you require.

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 period of 1998 to 2008? I do not wish you to
include any children for any other catagories of harm/abuse.
There is not a category of entering into care for emotional harm. Becoming
LAC is different from becoming subject to child protection. Those
individuals becoming subject to CP are classified into category for that
CP Plan, one of which is emotional harm, however, this same classification
is not made or recorded when a child becomes looked after.

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.
n/a

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

4) Out of these how many children were put on full care orders?
n/a

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

If you should require any further information, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

Yours sincerely
