Dear foi,
Thank you for your very comprehensive response- however it looks like there may be confusion on q7) you have given a figure for the LAC - I presume these are children who are in care whereas I had been looking for the total number of children with the identified exclusion/suspension who were known to Social Service not just those were the Council had the statutory duty of care.
Regards
Jane

Yours sincerely,
