looked after children

Angela Wileman made this Freedom of Information request to East Dunbartonshire Council

Waiting for an internal review by East Dunbartonshire Council of their handling of this request.

From: Angela Wileman

30 September 2009

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 Ms Wileman

The answers to your FOI request are as follows:

1. It has only been possible to review files for the past six months
without incurring chargeable costs. From the information reviewed only one
young person was accommodated via an order from the Children's Panel on the
basis of emotional abuse. No emergency protection orders have been sought
on the basis of emotional abuse.

2. Domestic violence was not an issue in the one reported case.

3. This young person has not been returned to their family.

4. This young person continues to be accommodated on a supervision
requirement from the Children's Panel.

5. This young person has not been adopted.

I trust this answers your request.

Yours sincerely
