Looked after children under catagory of emotional harm

Angela Wileman made this Freedom of Information request to Blackpool Borough Council

Blackpool Borough 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) 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 ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST

As we have completed our search for the information you requested on 30
September 2009, I am now writing to let you know that Blackpool Council
does not record the categories of care order applications. The term
emotional harm is a category used when addressing the need for a child
protection plan and I am therefore unable to respond to this request, as
we do not hold the information relating to the first question.

If you have a complaint about the handling of your request you may ask for
an internal review and you should submit this in writing to: Council
Complaint, Blackpool Council, PO Box 50, Town Hall, Blackpool, FY1 1NA.

If you are not happy with the outcome of the review, you have the right to
apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. You can
contact the Information Commissioner at: Information Commissioner's
Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF,
([1]www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk).

If you have any queries about this letter you can contact me, or write to:
FOI, Town Hall, Blackpool, FY1 1NA, or email us at
[2][Blackpool Borough Council request email]. Please remember to quote your
reference number (MITAH/AW) when you contact us.

Yours sincerely

Jon Williams,
Principal Management Information Officer,
