looked after children

Rother District Council did not have the information requested.

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

Lynda Crawford, Rother District Council

Dear Ms Wileman

Thank you for your request. However, we are a "shire" district council
and therefore do not have a social services department or children's
services and we therefore do not hold the information requested. Please
contact East Sussex County Council [email address] who provide
these services for the local area.

You may use our internal complaints procedure if you are dissatisfied.
If you are still dissatisfied you may appeal to the Information
Commissioner. Please contact Anne Bruin, Team Leader - Customer
Services, if you wish to complain.
