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) 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 Angela

RE: FOI request - Children in care (RQ000763)

Wyre Borough Council has no statutory responsibility for Childrens'
Services and therefore holds none of the information you require.

In the Wyre area Lancashire County Council looks after Childrens' Services
and for Freedom of Information purposes they can be contacted

via their website at
