looked after children

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

East Lothian Council did not have the information requested.

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

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION (SCOTLAND) ACT 2002

I am afraid that East Lothian Council is unable to comply with your request of 30 September. Neither interim care orders nor emergency protection orders apply in Scotland, therefore the information you require is not held.

If you would like to redefine or clarify your request we will be happy to readdress it. In the meantime, if you are dissatisfied with the way your request has been handled or with the information we have provided, you are entitled to request that we undertake an internal review. We must receive such a request within 40 working days of the date of this notice. A request to review our decision must be in writing (e-mail is acceptable) or another permanent format. We will then have 20 working days from the date we receive your request in order to complete our review and give you our decision. The review will be conducted by the Chief Executive or another official nominated by him. Please address this request to:

The Chief Executive
East Lothian Council
John Muir House
Haddington
EH41 3HA

If you are still not satisfied with our decision following the review process, then you may ask the Office of the Scottish Information Commissioner (OSIC) to investigate the matter. You may contact OSIC at:
