Dear Richard,

I submitted my original request through the 'What do they know'
site so I do not know which email address was used.

To clarify my request, I would like information for the academic
year 2008-09 and the care plans I am interested in are protection
plans for abuse or neglect. The population I am interested in is
all children living in your catchment area.

Yours sincerely,

Lynn Daley

For attention : Lynn Daley

Further to my email dated 28th July belatedly acknowledging your
original request which we eventually traced, as it had become mislaid,
we have now received a further copy as below. I can assure you that
whilst the matter is now in hand, due to late discovery of the request
within our records we cannot now realistically meet the original
deadline. I anticipate that in the circumstances my colleagues will
provide you with an answer as soon as possible and in any case not later
than would be required for the resubmitted request. Please quote our ref
116477 in any further correspondence.

Dear Ms Daley

Further to my email below, I am pleased to provide the last of the
information you requested:-

3. Total number of all children in your LA

A: As at January 2009 (last school census) there were 31,247 children in
Lambeth. This includes children attending nursery, primary, secondary and
special schools and also our Pupil Referral Units.

Once again, do accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused by the
delay.

Yours sincerely

Dear Dunevia Bakpa,

You say in answer to:

"2. Number of electively home-educated children who have a care
plan in place due to concerns of abuse.

A: Three of the above number has care plans."

Can you say whether these are care plans under s17 or protection
plans under s47, as this seems a very high rate of abuse?

Yours sincerely,

Lynn Daley
