- The focus on this information is part of the wider aim to encourage councils to make the link between effective service delivery, robust human resource strategies and a strong learning culture. p.256
- If expenditure on family support is significantly lower than comparators this may be due to strong cost effective commissioning arrangements to deliver preventative services, and /or effective pooled budgets with partners. p.243
- A sustained high, or improving, figure in this indicator, in the three years prior to the end of the relevant period, should feed through to an improved 3072SC PAF CF/A2 figure over time and, to a lesser extent, to an improved 3073SC. p.159
- This indicator shows the performance of local authorities in improving outcomes for young people leaving their care, so that they are enabled to achieve, to make a positive contribution and to be offered the opportunity to secure their future economic well being. p.236
- So, for example, the extent to which children thrive may not be influenced by distance at all. p.158
Concerns
Quoted from the report. Tap to see it on the page.
- Comparatively low rate of adoptions may suggest: delays in permanency planning and care planning; failure to consider adoption as an option for every child not returning to parents; insufficient adopters to meet need, lack of interagency budget to purchase placements outside the council; court delays. p.101
- The Section 5 category notice to improve cannot be directly mapped to the Section 10 framework categories which included serious weaknesses, underachieving schools or inadequate sixth forms. p.142
- Failure to fulfil one of these criteria results in a score of 1 "underachieved" failure to fulfil both of these criteria results in a score of 0 "underachieved" NB. p.37
- This data shows the % of schools who fail to meet each floor target - this is not the same as showing what % of students failed to get 5 A* to Cs. p.134
- Percentage of those whose breach/recall to custody action was in line with National Standards of Youth Justice Board of all those in breach/recall subgroup. p.179

- Data from HMI Probation led inspection of Youth Offending Teams from a representative sample. p.181
- Asset is a structured assessment tool to be used by YOTs in England and Wales on all young offenders who come into contact with the criminal justice system. p.181
- It aims to look at the young person’s offence or offences and identify a multitude of factors or circumstances – ranging from lack of educational attainment to mental health problems – which may have contributed to such behaviour. p.181
- The information gathered from Asset can be used to inform court reports so that appropriate intervention programmes can be drawn up. p.181
- The area in brackets is the wider Criminal Justice Area in which the YOT is based. p.181
- The majority of YOT areas match local authority boundaries - please refer to Appendix 2 to see the exceptions. p.181

APA dataset guidance notes
The following revisions have been made to data presented in the first (August) version of the dataset. 1002HC In the data definition section, the sub-heading read ‘Commentary on Bristol values:’ for all local authorities, so has been revised to ‘Commentary:’. The data and traffic lights were referring to the correct local authorities so are unchanged.

Social care data
The 2006-07 data on finance and staffing is taken from The IC’s PSS EX1 and SSDS001 collections (6050SC only) is included in this version. Comparative data is also included. Statistical neighbour groups help to benchmark local authorities’ performance, and provide an initial guide as to whether it is above or below the level that might be expected. Some of the statistical neighbour groups used in this year's datasets have altered from those used in last years’ APA and in JAR toolkits prior to block 16. The NFER's Children's Services statistical neighbour groups were published in February 2007 and are designed to be used across all children's services data. They replace the old Ofsted and CIPFA groups for education and social care indicators. The new NFER groups are used on the majority of indicators in this dataset; key exceptions being indicators from the Healthcare Commission, Youth Justice Board and HMI

p.3
Social care data
On a number of indicators, traffic lights are used to highlight strong or poor performance. For data on educational attainment and absences the traffic lights show differences between the authority and its statistical neighbours, as well as between the authority and the national figure. For this reason the shading is applied to the neighbours’ and national figures rather than the figures for the authority itself. On social care Performance Assessment Framework indicators, shading is applied to the local authority, neighbours and national figures, as the bandings are based on cut-off points, not relative position. Please refer to individual indicators and contact the relevant inspectorate for further information if required.
p.3
Social care data
Some of the social care data in this year's APA datasets may differ to that in previous years’ APA datasets. This is because the majority of data is now sourced from central data collections run by the Department for Children Schools and Families (DCSF) and The Information Centre for health and social care (IC); rather than from CSCI's data collection. The national and statistical neighbour figures are produced by summing the numerators and denominators for each authority to produce the indicator score. This brings the methodology into line with that used in most Ofsted, DCSF and PAF publications. As CSCI’s APA collection, however, only collected data at indicator level, the national figures used in previous year’s APA datasets were produced by averaging the indicator scores for all the authorities. This change in methodology has affected some national figures, with most changes resulting in lower figures than presented in earlier datasets.
p.3
Social care data
The exception to this is the set of nine indicators that Ofsted collected directly from local authorities in June 2007. As the old years’ data for these is taken from the indicator level data collected by CSCI during previous APAs, Ofsted collected the 2006/07 data in the same way. The statistical neighbour and national figures therefore continue to be averages of the authorities’ indicator scores. The 2006/07 child protection data in the second and third versions of the dataset are second cut data from the DCSF’s CPR3 data collection. This data has not altered from the first cut of CPR3 data used in version one of the APA dataset, except for the revisions highlighted at the start of these guidance notes. Statistical neighbour and England comparisons are included in this version. The 2006-07 data on looked after children in this, third, version is from the DCSF’s SSDA903 collection. Again, comparative data are included in this version.

Guidance & Interpretation: High is good, assessment is based on a comparison between CAMHS mapping data for the financial years 2004/05 and 2005/06. This is a national target in the Annual Health Check with a score of either 0, 1 or 2. The indicator itself is in two parts and looks at changes in levels of staffing and activity. Part 1: The percentage increase in staffing levels between 2004/05 and 2005/06. Part 2: The percentage increase in either total caseload or total number of new cases between 20045/05 and 2005/06. Scoring rationale: Thresholds for this indicator would be set as follows. 2= Achieved: An increase in staffing levels of equal to or greater than 1% between 2004/05 and 2005/06 and a greater than or equal to 1% increase in either total caseload or new cases between 2004/05 and 2005/06. 1= Underachieved: Less than 1% increase in staffing levels and a greater than or equal to 1% increase in

If you have any queries concerning this data please contact JARs@healthcarecommission.org.uk Data Source: Selective data submitted for the "infant health" PCT PI: http://ratings2005.healthcarecommission.org.uk/more_information.asp Indicator Description: The numerator is the number of mothers known to be smokers at the time of delivery. The denominator is the number of deliveries at which the smoking status of the mother was known (not the total number of maternities). NB. Please note that PCTs were reconfigured in October 2006. For current PCT names please see the Healthcare Commission APA briefing.
p.14
CITY AND HACKNEY TEACHING PCT
Guidance & Interpretation: Low is good. Maternal smoking during pregnancy is an important cause of low birth weight. A high percentage of mothers smoking in pregnancy could prompt questions surrounding the PCT’s health promotion schemes. This data was collected for the first time in 2003/04 and the smoking status of new mothers was only recorded in 86% of maternities, rising to 92% in 2004/05, 2005/06 the figure was 93% although in some PCTs this % was much lower. Recognising the data quality/coverage issues the Healthcare Commission PI measured the % for which smoking status was recorded, rather than the % smoking. In future a higher percentage of data is expected to be available which should make this indicator more reliable.

Judgment basis: green = significantly low rate with 95% confidence amber = within the expected range of variation with 95% confidence red = significantly high rate with 95% confidence. NB Confidence intervals are not shown as the calculation uses an additive over-dispersion model which replaces a single target value with a distribution representing acceptable variability. If the observed indicator is inside the tolerance range, then it cannot be declared significantly different. If it is just outside and there is some overlap with its confidence interval, then it still may be OK. But if there is no overlap, or only minimal overlap, it will be declared significantly different (this assessment is based on a formula and does not correspond exactly to whether the intervals overlap or not) .

Data source: Compendium of Clinical and Health Indicators / Clinical and Health Outcomes Knowledge Base (nww.nchod.nhs.uk) based on National Statistics. Data code DA04J_090 Indicator Description: The indicator displays percentage of live and still births occurring in the calendar year with birth weights under 1500 grams and under 2500 grams. The denominator is all live and still births occurring in the respective calendar year.
p.15
CITY AND HACKNEY TEACHING PCT
Guidance & Interpretation: Low percentage is good. Low birth weight is thought to cause childhood asthma, and probably contributes to adult diseases, including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes pregnancy. Note that some ethnic groups tend to have a higher proportion of low birth weights than other ethnic groups, and this should not be seen as a simple indicator of health deprivation without taking such factors into account. However, a high percentage of low birth weights could prompt questions surrounding health promotion schemes. Excludes births without a stated birth weight. Birth weight is obtained from the birth notification information provided to the registrar of births and deaths by the local health services. Birth weight is not always available from notifications. The figures presented are expressed as percentages of live and still births with a stated birth weight, thereby excluding births without a

CITY AND HACKNEY TEACHING PCT
Guidance & Interpretation: High is good. Breastfeeding, especially in the first six months, is generally accepted to have health benefits for the child. A low percentage of mothers breastfeeding could prompt questions surrounding the PCT’s health promotion schemes. This data was collected for the first time in 2003/04 and the breastfeeding status of new mothers was only recorded in 87% of maternities, rising to 93% in 2004/05in 2005/06 the figure was 93% although in some PCTs this % was much lower.

Guidance & Interpretation: High is good. A high percentage coverage is required to protect the community from the risk of outbreak of disease ("herd immunity") - this required % varies between diseases and for example is estimated at 95% for measles in the UK by Berger (1999, at http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/ content/full/319/7223/1462#resp1). A low percentage of immunisations could be a reflection of the PCT’s immunisation strategies. Children for whom the PCT is responsible are all children registered with a GP whose practice forms part of the PCT, regardless of where the child is resident, plus any children not registered with a GP who are resident within the PCT's statutory geographical boundary.

City of London
Data on teenage conceptions is available on a calendar year basis and ONS publish this data in February each year, 14 months after the year to which they relate. Therefore the indicator presented in the 2006/07 BVPI set will be the data published in February 2007 relating to calendar year 2005. The National Teenage Pregnancy Strategy outlines the National target to halve the under-18 conception rate in England by 2010 (with an interim target of 15% by 2004 included in the NHS Plan). Progress in reducing conception rates amongst 15-17 year olds against the 1998 baseline would be represented by a negative figure in the percentage change in number of conceptions amongst 15-17 year olds. A positive figure would suggest that the conception rate has increased. Continued improvement would show a negative figure getting increasingly larger whilst fluctuations in this figure year on year may suggest that strategies to reduce conceptions in 15-17 year olds may be ineffective. This data should be looked at alongside the rate

If you have any queries concerning this data please contact JARs@healthcarecommission.org.uk Data Source: Compiled via the Quality Management and Analysis System (QMAS) for the QOF GP payments system by the Health and Social Care Information Centre. See http://www.ic.nhs.uk/services/qof/ for details. Practice level data has been aggregated by the Healthcare Commission. Indicator Description: The numerator is the number of GP practices in the PCT providing child health surveillance services, for which the practice has been awarded points under the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF). The denominator is the total number of GP practices in the PCT participating in QOF. NB. Please note that PCTs were reconfigured in October 2006. For current PCT names please see the Healthcare Commission APA briefing.

Guidance & Interpretation: High is good. Child health services may be provided other than through GP practices. The QOF payments system is a component of the General Medical Services (GMS) GP contract, introduced on 1st April 2004. QOF points are awarded against 146 indicators, including CHS1 "Child development checks are offered at the intervals agreed in local guidelines and problems are followed up". Submission of QOF data is not compulsory, but participation rates are very high with most Personal Medical Services GPs in addition to most GMS GPs submitting details for 2004/05. Where PMS practices have agreed local arrangements to determine QOF payments, some elements of QOF achievement may not have been entered into the national Quality Management and Analysis System (QMAS) by the practices and PCTs concerned. QMAS was established as a mechanism to support the calculation of practice QOF payments - it is not a totally comprehensive source of data on quality of care in general practice. Data is only available for 2004/05 as this is a new data

Data Definition: The National Healthy Schools Programme is a joint initiative between the Department of Health (DoH) and the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF). It originated in 1997 out of the White Paper Excellence in Schools. In 2004 the programme was revised as a result of the White Paper Choosing Health as there was a need to ensure consistency across the country. There are now four themes-Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE), Physical Activity, Healthy Eating and Emotional Health and Wellbeing (EHWB). Each theme has its own criteria that schools have to meet to achieve National Healthy Schools Status (NHSS). Schools need to meet the criteria through the Whole School Approach (WSA) which is at the core of the NHSP. There are ten elements to the WSA and a process that schools needs to employ while participating in the NHSP. Schools now Self-Validate and 10 per cent of all schools who Self-Validate go through moderation. The NHSP
p.23
Corporation of London
has four aims which are to support children and young people in developing healthy behaviours, help raise the achievement of children and young people, reduce health inequalities and promote social inclusion. There are two targets for the NHSP-that all schools will be participating in the programme and 50 percent of schools will achieve NHSS by July 2007. Further information can be found at http://www.healthyschools.gov.uk/ . Data is a 'snap shot' of participation and achievement as of July 2007.

Column (D): These figures relates to the national 50% target for July 2007. The banding of green>50%-42%, amber<42%-25% and red<24%-0% reflects the DoH's judgement of the extent a programme has met the national target in a context of the longer term December 2007 target of 55%, and the December 2009 target of 75%.

Data Definition: Two aspects of childcare are judged in this indicator, corresponding to two of the fourteen standards: Standard 7 - Health: The registered person promotes the good health of children and takes positive steps to prevent the spread of infection and appropriate measures when they are ill. Standard 8 - Food and drink: Children are provided with regular drinks and food in adequate quantities for their needs. Food and drink is properly prepared, nutritious and complies with dietary and religious requirements. Health Warning: Data only takes into account registration visits that have been finalised. The latest CA inspections of active providers that have been quality assured (checks complete) and have not been withheld from publication. Since the December 2006 Local Authority Early Years Profile was published, the method used to capture registration actions has been revised and these figures reflect the change.

Grade 1=Outstanding Grade 2=Good Grade 3=Satisfactory Grade 4=Inadequate Health warning: Care should be taken in interpreting this data as it is based on a sample of schools and so may not be representative of all schools in the local authority. This data reflects the outcomes of Section 5 inspections undertaken between September 2005 and the 13th July 2007, when the latest data was received. As data may take up to two months to be confirmed, some data from this period may still be in moderation or incomplete, which could alter the final distribution of judgements. This is more likely to be from inspections awaiting confirmation of special measures or notice to improve. Due to the small number of special schools in most LAs it is not possible to make robust comparisons between the LA and SN figures.

Code CA03C_073SMP2 Indicator Description: Indicator is expressed as the indirectly standardised mortality ration (SMR) - for which values less than 100 indicate less deaths than expected (England and Wales average = 100) given the age and sex profile of the local population.
p.31
City of London LB
Guidance & Interpretation: Low is good. High rates would need to be explored in conjunction with the Local Children’s Safeguarding Board (LCSB). Includes deaths from all causes, classified by underlying cause of death (ICD-10 A00-Y99, ICD-9 001-E999). Note that approximately 70% of deaths of under-15 year olds occur in the first year, hence this over-dispersion within the infant mortality indicator.
p.31
City of London LB
Judgment basis: green = significantly low rate with 95% confidence amber = within the expected range of variation with 95% confidence red = significantly high rate with 95% confidence. NB Confidence intervals are not shown as the calculation uses an additive over-dispersion model which replaces a single target value with a distribution representing acceptable variability. If the observed indicator is inside the tolerance range, then it cannot be declared significantly different. If it is just outside and there is some overlap with its confidence interval, then it still may be OK. But if there is no overlap, or only minimal overlap, it will be declared significantly different (this assessment is based on a formula and does not correspond exactly to whether the intervals overlap or not) . This means that Cl alone might suggest a significant difference where one is not present. Time Period: Data covers deaths over two or three calendar years - data is "pooled" over 2 or 3 years because numbers are low.

Guidance & Interpretation: Low is good. Consider these data in light of presence/absence of fluoridation, and NHS dentistry access rates. A high average could prompt questions surrounding the PCT’s health promotion schemes and dentistry provision. Only one age group is surveyed each year, and only recent surveys have been reported at PCT and/or LA level. 2002/2003 data (age 14) is incomplete due to difficulties in accessing secondary schools in general and 14- year-old children in particular. Thames Valley and South East London are not included in this data set. The data for the South West Peninsula only relate to North and East Devon.

The expected number of admissions is calculated by multiplying the national rates of admissions for each age group (0, 1-4, 5- 9, 10-14 and 15-19) and sex by the mid 2002 population of the LA within each of these age/sex groups. The specified diagnosis codes for mental and behavioural disorders are F10 to F19 inclusive, which include use of alcohol, opioids, cannabinoids, cocaine, solvents etc. The diagnosis codes for poisoning
p.35
City of London LB
are T40 including opioids, cocaine and cannabis but not alcohol.
p.35
City of London LB
Guidance & Interpretation: Low is good. A low value indicates that drug misuse in the area is not leading to a high level of admissions to hospital - possibly due to there not being a major drug problem amongst children and young people in the area, and/or having good access to treatment/services that address problems short of hospital admission. High numbers could indicate poor access to preventative services or a high preponderance of drug use in the area. 2002- 05 drug overdose/poisoning indicator values for 169 LAs have been suppressed due to being based on less than 5 admissions (also 9 LAs' data has been suppressed for mental disorders).

Data Source: All data taken from the CAMHS mapping atlas table 4.2: http://www.dur.ac.uk/camhs.mapping/index.php?page=atlas&a=19#s18 Indicator Description: The numerator is the number of cases waiting for under the specified amount of time. The denominator is the total number of cases waiting. Data is supplied separately for specialist and non-specialist cases at the 4 week and 26 week junctures. From 2005 data were reported for tier 2/3 and tier 4 cases instead of non-specialist cases and specialist cases
p.36
EAST LONDON AND THE CITY MENTAL HEALTH NHS TRUST
Guidance & Interpretation: High is good, indicating cases were seen within acceptable time frames. During the data collection period total caseload was broken down by time waited prior to treatment. The duration of the wait is the interval between the receipt of the referral request and the time the case is first seen. In the case of DNAs or cancellations, the wait is from the most recent DNA or cancellation.Non-specialist cases require clinics where clients come for meetings with staff or for group sessions, or individual home visits. Specialist cases require longer term or more intensive provision, which may take the form of whole- or half-day activities, in-patient care, or outreach support as an alternative to in-patient care. Data relates to the provider trust(s) mainly serving an area rather than all children from the LA area. In some cases the extent to which a provider serves children from the LA is not clear. Criteria triggering referral

For 2006 data, http://ratings.healthcarecommission.org.uk/indicators_2006 Indicator Description: Score is on a scale of 0 to 2 and depends on two factors: i) Having an up to date "needs assessment" which meets the requirements set out in 'A Comprehensive CAMHS'; ii) The percentage increase in budgeted expenditure on CAMHS in 2004/05 by the PCT against expenditure in 2003/04 (should be at least 10% to get the highest rating - this threshold was 5% in 2003/04 compared to 2002/03). This 3 point scale replaced the previous 5 point scale in 2005/6. Scale explained: 0= "Not achieved" 1= "Underachieved" 2= "Achieved". To score 2 "achieved" a PCT must have an up to date needs assessment and

in increase in annual expenditure of not less than 10% from the previous year.

Guidance/interpretation
This indicator was new in 2005-06. The data for 2006-07 is submitted in February 2007; councils submit data rating themselves on components 1-4; the PI is calculated from the answers given for each of these components. The indicator reflects development in local authority areas of key services for children and adolescents. It has four components, the first three of which relate to a PSA target on CAMHS services. The scoring used is broadly in line with the CAMHS Self Assessment matrix for 2005-06 - each of the components features in this matrix. The plans and protocols for each component must be part of the overall strategy for the CAMHS service developed for each CAMHS partnership in line with the NSF. Councils will have rated their performance against each of the components on a scale of 1 to 4, and the final figure will be an aggregate of these four component scores, i.e. a whole number between four and sixteen. The ratings for each of the four components are above in

Number of bed days on CAMHS wards of patients aged under 18 (Local Development Plan Return (LDPR) line 5410) divided by number of bed days on CAMHS and adult wards of patients aged under 18 (LDRP lines 5410, 5411 and 5412) In Q3 2005/06, 12 trusts (14%) achieved 100%, 48 (58%) trusts scored less than 75%. Part two: Under 18s on adult wards should be 16 or 17 years old, rather than under 16.

Indicator description and interpretation : This is a two part indicator: For the first part the numerator is the number of people aged less than 18 who have received drug treatment during the year. The denominator is the number of people of all ages who have received drug treatment during the year. High is good - the number of under 18 substance misusers is generally around 11% of the total for all ages: if the percentage of those in treatment aged <18 is higher than this then the DAT has been relatively successful in getting young people into treatment.
p.45
City of London Drug Action Team
Health warning: Data collection from young persons' treatment services only started in April 2005/06 we would therefore expect large differences with data from 2005/06 to 2006/07. This may be due to better compliance with NDTMS. A low percentage for the first part of this indicator could be due to excellent performance by adult services in getting substance misusers into treatment rather than poor performance by young people's services. The NTA has introduced a new definition of treatment with new thresholds so a drop in numbers in 2007 could reflect a change in practice. An increase in the % of young people in young people's treatment services would be a more realistic indicator of improved services. Proportion of those in substance misuse treatment who are aged less than 18
p.45
City of London Drug Action Team
For the second part the numerator is the number of under 18 year olds receiving treatment from specialist treatment services providing tier 3/4 interventions to under 18s. The denominator is the numerator for the first part i.e. the number of people aged less than 18 receiving treatment High is good, suggesting that interventions for young people are child focused. A high % will indicate the existence of young people’s interventions to meet all needs. A low figure (less than 90%) is likely to indicate that adult services are still providing the more clinical aspects of drug treatment such as prescribing. All numbers are based on the drug action team area (which is the same as the local authority area) where the person lives, not where the treatment is provided.

p.48
Measuring unit
This indicator measures some health requirements, which are basic for all children, which should not be overlooked for children looked after and serve as a proxy for good overall health outcomes. This indicator should have an association with good parenting, notwithstanding the fact that older children looked after might exercise their right to refuse medical examinations and treatments. We would expect to see high proportions of children looked after receiving this basic health care. There is an associated National Priorities Guidance objective to enable looked after children to gain maximum life chance benefit from educational opportunities, health care, social care and other services Percentage as a whole number which is an average of the percentage of (Numerator i/denominator) and (Numerator ii/denominator)
p.48
Guidance/interpretation
This indicator is an amalgam of two components dealing with visits to the dentist and health assessments. It may be useful to look at each of these individually; poor performance on one component may be masked by good performance on the other. If the figure is low, then the age breakdown of the LAC cohort may be relevant, since older children are more likely to refuse. As is the case with all performance indicators, indicators 'indicate', they do not 'mean'. The overall figure for this indicator should be interpreted with caution. Although councils should encourage children looked after to have a health assessment, participation in them is not mandatory and refusals may have a substantial impact on a council’s indicator value. Health issues are regularly raised in reviews, so there is a likely relationship between participation in, and the timeliness of, reviews (4016SC PAF CF/C63 & 2064SC - PAF CF/C68). Distance from home (3085SC PAF CF/C69) may have an influence on health

in road traffic accidents
Whilst the 2005 total for killed or seriously injured child casualties in City of London was 100% below the baseline, this figure can be highly variable year on year. This variability may occur because a relatively small number of children are killed or seriously injured each year in road accidents at Local Authority level.
p.51
The overarching PSA target for Road Safety:
To reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured in Great Britain in road accidents by 40%, and the number of children killed or seriously injured by 50%, by 2010 compared with the average for 1994-98, tackling the significantly higher incidence in disadvantaged communities. The Department for Transport has agreed a target to reduce the number of children killed or seriously injured in road traffic accidents by 50% by 2010 compared with the average for 1994-98. Statistics showed the number of children killed or seriously injured in Great Britain in 2005 to be 49% below the 1994-98 average. In City of London the number of children killed or seriously injured in 2005 was 100% below the 1994-98 average for that Local Authority.
p.51
Coverage of the Road Safety target:
The 40% and 50% casualty reduction targets apply to Great Britain as a whole, as they were set in the context of the national strategy that included many measures that would affect the whole country in the same way. However, DfT's locus in local interventions necessary to address the special problems of disadvantaged areas is solely a matter for the devolved administrations in Scotland and Wales, and so that part of the target applies to England only.
p.51
Definitions:
The 40% and 50% targets - these relate to combined totals of deaths and serious injuries Children - those aged under 16 Killed - people whose injuries cause their death less than 30 days after the accident Seriously injured - people whose injuries cause them to be detained in hospital as an "in-patient", or include any of the following injuries whether or not they are detained in hospital: fractures, concussion, internal injuries, crushings, burns (excluding friction burns), severe cuts and lacerations, severe general shock requiring medical treatment and injuries causing death 30 or more days after the accident Road accidents - those involving personal injury on the public highway (including footways) in which at least one road vehicle is involved and which becomes known to the police within 30 days of its occurrence Disadvantaged communities - those within the ODPM's 88 Neighbourhood Renewal Fund areas
p.51
in road traffic accidents
The credible monitoring of targeted reductions requires that data be reported consistently and accurately. Local and national government, and local police forces, work closely to achieve a common reporting standard. A complex devolved reporting system such as that operated in Great Britain will never produce perfect results, but the high standards that are achieved reflect the efforts of local authorities and police forces to report to the standard national requirement. However readers should note that while very few, if any, fatal accidents do not become known to the police, there is evidence that an appreciable proportion of non fatal injury accidents are not reported to the police and thus are not included.

Statistics, baselines and targets
Provisional statistics for each calendar year are published about six months after it ends, with final figures following in September in the annual publication "Road Accidents Great Britain - The Casualty Report". The PSA target relates to road casualty figures for 2010 to be published in 2011. The baseline figures are the averages for the calendar years 1994 to 1998 in Great Britain: · Total killed or seriously injured 47,656 (after 40% reduction = 28594) · Children killed or seriously injured 6,860 (after 50% reduction = 3430) For disadvantaged communities, our target is a bigger reduction than for England as a whole in the overall road casualty rate by population for ODPM's 88 Neighbourhood Renewal Fund areas, comparing the figure for 2006 with the average for 2000 to 2002.

Data collection and quality assurance
On receipt of the data, DfT carries out its own validation checks and refers back any records with errors or suspicious values, such as any where the number of vehicles and/or casualties noted on the attendant circumstances record is inconsistent with the actual number of vehicle/casualty records in the accident set. Before annual statistics are compiled, DfT carries out further quality checks including ensuring that the number of records it holds agrees with the total held by data providers. DfT is confident that its casualty statistics based on STATS19 data are accurate, but recognises that, by their nature, they do not cover casualties arising from any accidents that are not reported to the police. Also, studies have shown that the police can underestimate the severity of injuries because of the difficulty of determining this at the scene.

This indicator tries to establish whether appropriate thresholds are being used in the cases of children who are in need. Referrals of children to councils are important as a measure of local concerns about children's welfare. They cover a wide range of concerns including potential abuse, disability, family functioning etc. They may be made by other professionals, family members, friends, the general public or children referring themselves.
p.55

The measure will reflect: the practices of the council, for example, use of a corporate call centre as compared with access via local offices; joint working with the NHS on CAMHS and other services; and with the local Youth Offending Team. As the newly formed children's services work more closely together the counts of referrals may change, reflecting changes in 'gate keeping' arrangements. There may also be an issue, particularly where departments have recently merged, of social care referrals being correctly identified. The measure will reflect adherence to guidance on how to count referrals for one or more children in the same family and repeat referrals for the same child. Unborn children may be referred and will be counted in this measure.

Guidance/interpretation
2022SC PAF CF/C64: Timing of core assessments - see p.61 Referral rates may reflect differences in deprivation between councils; this will also apply within a council's area. Children’s social care services vary in their definition of what constitutes a referral which makes comparisons difficult. Some have a ‘pre-referral stage to establish if the concern meets their threshold for an assessment. Low numbers of referrals could suggest that there are clear thresholds for assessment which are well understood by other agencies. Low numbers, however, could also indicate too high thresholds and poor practice of agencies not referring until situations have deteriorated so much that they have become child protection issues This would indicate a need to explore the range of preventative/support services available for those who did not meet the threshold for social care and /or whether local agencies share an agreed common threshold.
p.55
Guidance/interpretation
Referral rates need to be viewed in conjunction with repeat referrals (2016SC), referrals leading to initial assessment (2017SC), initial assessments within 7 working days of referral (2020SC), and rate & timing of core assessments (2021SC & 2022SC). A rising referral rate, linked with a rising number of initial and core assessments, could indicate better identification of concerns by other agencies. The extent to which the introduction of the Common Assessment Framework has occured in the council may affect this indicator as there may be a change in the patterns of referrals between agencies.

High re-referral rates may also indicate a lack of understanding of thresholds for social care services and/or a limited range of preventative/support services in the area. It is important to look at this indicator in conjunction with other referral data (2015SC, 2017SC). There may also be links to how quickly the more substantial referrals are dealt with in terms of assessment timescales (2020SC & 2022SC PAF CF/C64). This indicator tries to establish whether appropriate thresholds are being used in the cases of children who are in need. Re-referral percentages help to indicate the extent to which initial assessments at first referral are assessing needs appropriately. High, or higher than average, scores may indicate that following an assessment, appropriate services have not been put in place, or cases have been closed before the required outcomes have been achieved. Lower scores may reflect delays in closure of cases

This indicator tries to establish whether appropriate thresholds are being used in the cases of children who are in need and whether their needs are being properly assessed. A high percentage of referrals leading to initial assessments may indicate good inter-agency understanding of thresholds for social care services. A low percentage of referrals leading to initial assessments may indicate a lack of understanding for social care services, perhaps due to poor inter-agency, or poor intra-agency, understanding or application of thresholds. The introduction of CAF may affect this indicator as there may be a change in the patterns of referrals between agencies. Significant variation in council's figure from the SN average figure should prompt further investigation. Consideration should be given to the relationship between the processing of referrals (2015SC & 2016SC), and initial & core assessment

This indicator should be viewed in conjunction with data on referrals (2015SC-2017SC), assessments (2020SC & 2022SC) and staffing (6011SC, 6012SC & 6015SC). Rates may reflect differences in deprivation between councils - this will also apply within a council's area - and may reflect differences in the age structure of the under 18 population. A high rate may indicate that thresholds are set too low and a low rate may indicate threshold set too high, though either may indicate the application of proportionate thresholds. Any rates, high or low, that are consistently and significantly different to those of SN comparators, however, require further exploration. A core assessment is deemed to have commenced at the point at which the initial assessment ended, or strategy discussion decided to initiate enquiries under s47 of the Children Act 1989, or new information obtained on an open case indicates that a core assessment

should be undertaken. A core assessment is defined as an in-depth assessment of the needs of a child and the capacity of their parents or care givers to respond appropriately to these needs within the wider family and community network. At the conclusion of this phase of assessment, there should be an analysis of the findings to arrive at an understanding of the child's situation. This understanding should be used to inform a subsequent plan which sets out the case objectives, and the nature of services to be provided. The time-scale for the completion of a core assessment is a maximum of 35 working days. Successful meeting of the time-scales also indicates effective joint working where multi-agency assessment is required.

A core assessment is deemed to have commenced at the point at which the initial assessment ended, or strategy discussion decided to initiate enquiries under s47 of the Children Act 1989, or new information obtained on an open case indicates that a core assessment should be undertaken. The Assessment Framework sets a timescale for a core assessment which authorities are expected to meet. It is not always possible to complete core assessments appropriately within 35 days. This is the case in only a minority of instances, however, and the bandings on this indicator have been tightened further from 2005-06 to 2006-07 to both reflect this and to encourage better performance.

Denominator
Examination of the 2005-06 data of the number of core assessments per 10,000 and the percentage of core assessments completed in time indicates that councils may not be recording data consistently or that practice varies widely. This indicator should be viewed in conjunction with data on referrals (2015SC-2017SC), assessments (2020SC-2022SC), and staffing (6011SC, 6012SC & 6015SC). High numbers generally indicate good performance. Low numbers generally indicate poor performance and suggest problems in allocation, and/or difficulties in joint working with other agencies. Moderate to very high scores in this indicator should, when coupled with high staff vacancy rates, prompt further questions to be asked about practice and/or data.

between councils - this will also apply within a council's area - and may reflect differences in the age structure of the under 18 population. A high rate may indicate that thresholds are set too low and a low rate may indicate threshold set too high, though either may also indicate the application of proportionate thresholds. More effective inter-agency working may lead to an increased indicator value and poor inter-agency working may lead to decreased indicator value. Any rates, high or low, that are consistently and significantly different to those of SN comparators, however, require further exploration.

Guidance/interpretation
Further exploration is also required if there are significant changes in the trend data because this may indicate important changes in the application of thresholds (2019SC, 2027SC, 2028SC PAF CF/A3). Practice in relation to timing of both child protection reviews and of deregistration may have a bearing on this indicator (2034SC PAF CF/C20, 2035SC & 2036SC PAF CF/C21). Changes in trend data on children looked after may also have an important connection with this indicator (2042SC ). Traffic lights have not been applied to this indicator

Measuring unit
It should be noted that since this is snapshot data, this indicator does not necessarily represent a council's performance throughout the year. A high number would suggest that further investigation is needed around the number, recruitment, retention, and allocation of social workers. A high number would also raise questions about the use and supervision of unqualified staff (see indicators 6011SC-6012SC, 6015SC, 6020SC-6021SSC). A low number, coupled with poor recruitment and retention figures, should prompt further investigation (see above). A low number, coupled with an increasing pressure on children's services or of the volume of child protection work, should also prompt further investigation (see indicators 2015SC-2017SC, 2021SC, 2023SC, 2027SC, 2034SC-2035SC). The role of the Key worker is set out in paragraphs 5.75 and 5.76 of Working Together to Safeguard Children . The Key Worker is the

qualified social worker who has been allocated responsibility for the case. It is not a managerial role. This indicator tries to use allocation data as a proxy for the measurement of the effectiveness of the interventions provided to children with a child protection plan or on the Child Protection Register. Working Together , which was based on research, inspections, and reviews of individual cases, stresses the importance of key workers in ensuring that plans are developed and implemented to protect children from abuse. The death of Victoria Climbié and its aftermath have reinforced this importance. [Source: CSCI/Ofsted data collection]

Data definition
If the rate of registrations is significantly at variance to national and local comparators this raises questions regarding the management and decision making regarding child protection concerns. If there are significant numbers of LAC on the CPR this should be investigated because it may suggest an inefficient use of resources or drift. Changes in this over time is a good indicator of changing practice within an authority (more or less risk averse, better prevention etc). This data should be viewed in conjunction with indicators on rates with child protection plans (2019SC), registration (2028SC PAF CF/A3 & 2029SC), deregistration (2035SC & 2036SC PAF CF/C21) and reviews (2034SC PAF CF/C20). This indicator tries to establish whether appropriate thresholds are being used in the cases of children who are at risk of suffering significant harm. Differences in rates between councils may reflect differences in deprivation between councils; this may also apply within a council's area.

p.67
Data definition
The purpose of the child protection plan, or registration, is to devise and implement a plan which leads to lasting improvements in the child’s safety and overall well being. Some re-registrations are essential in responding to adverse changes in circumstance, but high levels of re-registration may suggest that the professionals responsible for the child’s welfare are not intervening effectively either to bring about the required changes in the child’s family situation, or to make alternative plans for the child’s long term care.
p.67
Guidance/interpretation
It is important to link this indicator with the other key child protections indicators (2023SC, 2027SC, 2029SC, 2034SC, 2035SC). The most obvious relationship is with 2036SC PAF CF/C21, duration with a child protection plan or on the register, where a good (i.e. low) figure for this indicator may have been achieved at the expense of a poor (i.e. high) figure for PAF C21. The levels of re-registrations, in other words, might be low where a council fails to achieve de-registrations within two years and children are left on the register for extended periods.

Measuring unit
[Source - CPR3, Part B, Table 5, line 6, column 4 (also Table 9)]
p.67
Measuring unit
Consideration needs to be given to the reasons for re-registration and to the timescales concerned in order to establish the extent to which re-registration is a result of inadequate child protection planning. A proportion of a council’s re-registrations may be because a child had left a council area only to return to the same area at some later date; this is not necessarily evidence of a failure of a child protection plan. Also a child may have been registered and deregistered many years previously to the relevant financial year and so their re-registration will not be a reflection of any failure on the part of the council in their child protection work. Not all councils have comprehensive records for previous registrations going back 18 years. The less comprehensive their data, the lower the rate of re-registration may be.

Guidance / interpretation
Low figures may be related to poor management of data. A very low level of re-registrations may, however, mean that a council is not re- registering some children who are in need. Higher numbers in relation to SN may suggest poor decision-making to end a protection plan, or remove from the register, or a lack of appropriate support for families after de-registration. There is also a possible interplay between staffing issues and re-registrations (6011SC-6012SC).

This indicator tries to use reviews as a proxy for the measurement of the effectiveness of the interventions provided to children with a child protection plan or on the register. Guidance, Working Together to Safeguard Children , which came into effect from December 1999, requires that the first child protection review is held within three months of the initial child protection conference and thereafter at intervals of no more than six months. Reviews are a key element in delivering Child Protection Plans and effective reviews should ensure the provision of good quality interventions.

High figures indicate good performance. A high figure for CF/C20 might be expected to be linked with reasonably low figure for 2036SC PAF CF/C21, otherwise the efficacy of the reviews may be questionable, as well as having a potential impact on re-registrations (2028SC PAF CF/A3).

Performance has improved in this indicator, to the extent that few councils now record a result of less than 92.5%: nonetheless close attention still needs to be paid to this part of the child protection picture. A high figure, coupled with poor recruitment and retention figures (6011SC & 6012SC), should prompt further questions about how this is managed. A high figure, coupled with an increasing volume of child protection work, should also prompt some further questions. This indicator should also be looked at in conjunction with allocation data (2024SC).

This indicator needs to be considered alongside re-registration data (2028SC PAF CF A3 & 2036SC). If children in 2028SC and this indicator overlap, a comparatively high rate of de-registrations, allied with a high rate of re-registrations, would suggest a revolving door policy or practice: that is children’s plans have been discontinued too quickly, before risks have been satisfactorily reduced. Low de-registration and high registration (2027SC) and may be indicative of a risk-averse culture this would lead over time to increases in number of children on the CPR. Comparatively low deregistration figures indicate that child protection plans are not being progressed satisfactorily, which raises questions regarding allocation (2024SC), as well as staffing (6011SC to 6025SC), quality of case working, level of case holding and managerial oversight. Low figures for deregistration could also be linked to a poor outcome on frequency of child protection reviews (2034SC PAF

Guidance/interpretation
Comparatively low deregistration figures indicate that child protection plans are not being progressed satisfactorily, which raises questions regarding allocation (2024SC), as well as staffing (6011SC to 6025SC), quality of case working, level of case holding and managerial oversight. Low figures for deregistration could also be linked to a poor outcome on frequency of child protection reviews (2034SC PAF CF/20). There is often a close relationship between performance in this indicator and that for re-registrations (2028SC PAF CF/A3). A good (i.e. low) figure for de-registrations may be explained by a poor (i.e. high) figure for re-registrations. If the PAF CF/C21 figure is poor (high), then this may be explained by a poor (low) figure for the timely review of child protection cases (2034SC PAF CF/C20). It is not always clear what an extremely low figure for this indicator means. If children in 2028SC and this indicator overlap, a comparatively high rate of de-registrations, allied with a high rate of re-registrations,

Numbers in the numerator for some councils will be small and the measure may vary significantly from year to year This indicator tries to establish whether child protection plans have been effective and the extent to which risk is being managed appropriately. Registration should ensure that children who are likely to suffer significant harm are protected and that they and their families are receiving the services necessary to bring about the required changes in the family situation. Professionals, the child and the family should be working towards specified outcomes which should lead to the child's name being taken off the Register within two years.

If children of any particular ethnic origin are over represented among those with a child protection plan, or on the register, in relation to the population breakdown for the area, this suggests that they may not be accessing preventative support at an early enough stage to prevent concerns escalating in to child protection. This needs to be considered alongside 2066SC and 2069SC. It should be noted that some councils have a rapidly changing ethnic minority population and that the 2001 census data does not adequately reflect this. If children of any particular ethnic origin are under represented this suggests that concerns about their welfare are not being identified which may leave them at risk. In small authorities, or those with low numbers on the register, this set of indicators needs to be treated with care – as a small number of children can skew the figures.

Similarly children whose first language is not English may have difficulty in accessing services and may be those most likely to need services. For these reasons one would expect this indicator to have a value of at least 1.

Health warning: Care should be taken in interpreting this data as it is based on a sample of schools and so may not be representative of all schools in the local authority. This data reflects the outcomes of Section 5 inspections undertaken between September 2005 and the 13th July 2007, when the latest data was received. Judgement 3F is graded on a 1-4 scale, while judgement 5H is graded 'yes' or 'no'. As data may take up to two months to be confirmed, some data from this period may still be in moderation or incomplete, which could alter the final distribution of judgements. This is more likely to be from inspections awaiting confirmation of special measures or notice to improve. Due to the small number of special schools in most LAs it is not possible to make robust comparisons between the LA and SN figures. Therefore the percentage figures for special schools are not represented as part of this analysis. The judgements and grading scales in the Section 5 inspection

p.88
Data definition
This is an indicator intended to provide context for all indicators relating to looked after children and to provide some relative data on thresholds for LAC. Differences between council's rates will often reflect differences in deprivation between councils. Rates may also reflect differences in the age structure of the under 18 population between councils. Rates may be notably higher for councils that have a significant number of unaccompanied asylum seeker children looked after. Placement data is pertinent here, especially the percentage of children looked after who are placed with parents, or fostered by relatives and friends. A breakdown of placement data by type for 2004-2006 is available in the LAMA+ for 2007.
p.88
Measuring unit
It is also important to consider the profile of the LAC population as high numbers can also suggest that young people are not being forced to leave care prematurely at 16. Conversely low numbers may indicate young people are leaving care prematurely. There are no 'good' or 'bad' figures for this indicator, only rates relative to comparator groups and relative to the needs of children living in the council area. If numbers of LAC are significantly lower than comparators, it may indicate that thresholds for becoming looked after are too high, leaving some children inadequately protected. If the overall number of LAC is significantly lower than comparators and the rates of children with child protection plans (2023SC), as well as numbers of children in need, are higher, this suggests that tight gate keeping processes are in place, risk is well managed, and children supported in their communities.
p.88
Measuring unit
If the overall number of LAC is significantly higher than comparators this suggests ineffective gate keeping and /or delays in care plans being progressed. This needs to be considered, though, with data on timescales for LAC reviews (2064SC PAF CF/C68), adoptions (2058SC, 2059SC PAF CF/C23), staffing data (2024SC; 6011SC & 6012SC) as well as the sufficiency of the support/preventative services (6009SC, 6010SC PAF CF/E44).

independent review chairs, or a high real number of unallocated LAC cases. The scheduling of first reviews sometimes are not in the domain of the Independent Review Team, but rather with the locality or specialist teams; this can affect adversely timescales in relation to initial reviews. Consideration should also be given to indicators on reviews (4016SC PAF CF/C63), adoption (2059SC PAF CF/C23), health (1037SC PAF CF/C19), placement (2043SC PAF CF/A1, 2067SC PAF CF/D78, 2068SC PAF CF/B79), education (3072SC PAF CF/A2, 3073SC, 3074SC) and offending (4015SSC PAF CF/C18).

1037SC PAF CF/C19: Health of looked after children - see p.48 This indicator seeks to use reviews as a proxy for the measurement of the effectiveness of the monitoring of the care of looked after children and as a proxy outcome measure. Reviews are a key element in delivering a successful care plan. The review looks at the child’s progress to date and plans for the future. Effective and timely reviews should ensure that the care plan remains appropriate for the child and that the needs of the child are well met.
p.91
Guidance/interpretation
High figures indicate good performance and low figures indicate poor performance. With councils that do not score highly, consideration should be given to whether there is any pattern to the reviews that are out of time, which indicates systemic difficulties in the way that reviews are resourced and managed. Managers need to ensure that the recommendations reached at reviews are actioned so that the best possible outcome is achieved for the young person. There is a statutory obligation to review the cases of looked after children, first within 28 days of their becoming looked after, then within a further three months, and subsequently at intervals of no more than six months until they cease to be looked after. The timeliness of the reviews, then, relates not just to the gap between reviews, but also to the start of the period of care itself. In 2004-05 data was collected on the timeliness of the latest review of those children looked after at 31 March. From 2005-06 onwards the indicator was defined to look
p.91
Guidance/interpretation
at all the relevant reviews for a child looked after at 31 March, including ones in the previous year which establish the time frame for when reviews should occur. The denominator consists of the number of looked after children who qualify and who were looked after at March 31. It does not consist of the number of reviews of those children in the preceding year. If a child looked after at 31 March 2007 had more than one review in 2006-07 which meet the criteria for inclusion, the child is counted once in the denominator. The numerator counts only those children, from the denominator, all of whose reviews in the year were carried out within the specified time limit. If a child had two reviews within the timescale and one review outside of the timescale, the child would be excluded from the numerator as a result of the one review out of time.

Data definition
Most councils seem to have been successful in their efforts to keep within the limits of the highest banding (less than 16.01%). Questions still need to be asked, however, about adequate and appropriate placement choices, especially where figures are comparatively low. Indicators on which PAF CF/A1 may have an impact, and vice versa, are: placement type, distance from home, reviews, allocation and education.

Measuring unit
[Source - SSDA903] The total number of children who were looked after at 31 March, excluding any children who were looked after on that date under an agreed series of short term-placements (under the provisions of Reg. 13 of the Arrangement for Placement of Children (General) Regulations, 1991).
p.92
Denominator
High figures for this indicator were, by 2005-06, relatively rare. Where they do occur, high percentages of children with 3 or more placements may suggest: that children are being placed inappropriately in placements which do not match their needs; insufficient range and number of foster carers to meet demand; lack of appropriate support to children and /or to foster carers, poor care planning and poor assessments. This indicator is an important measure of the stability of care that a child has experienced. On the whole stability is associated with better outcomes - placement instability has been highlighted by the Social Exclusion Unit as a key barrier to improving educational outcomes. Proper assessment of a child’s needs and an adequate choice of placements to meet the varied needs of different children are essential if appropriate stable placements are to be made. Inappropriate placements often break

2043SC PAF CF/A1: Stability of placements of children looked after (BVPI 49) - see p.92 Generally, a high figure is an indicator of good performance and a low one of poor performance, though comparator data is important to consider here, as with most indicators. Poor outcome on long term stability (a low rate) suggest: insufficient support to young people and/or foster carers; insufficient range and number of placements; too many placements ‘over numbers’; lack of placement planning around permanence; lack of available long-term foster carers; difficulties in retaining foster carers. The age profile of the looked after population is important with high numbers of teenagers looked after posing a particular problem for this indicator. A high figure for 2059SC CF/PAF C23 or for 2034SC CF/PAF A1 is likely to adversely affect this indicator. Conversely a low figure for PAF C23 and PAF A1 is likely to see a higher figure for PAF D78.

Low numbers of young people in residential care, however, may mean that some young people leave care too early (i.e. at 16) or that the council has some specialist fostering schemes that cater successfully for teenagers. High numbers, if placed with independent providers, suggest a system under pressure affected by: poor foster placement stability; lack of appropriate gate keeping; and poor care planning. This measure may be affected by the age structure of the council's looked after children - the older the group, the more likely this measure will be higher; the younger the group, the more likely that it will be lower. Included in this indicator are children with very complex needs in residential placements and boarding schools. If the indicator is high, some consideration should be made as to the extent to which looking after of this group of children, which constitutes good practice, affects the total figure. Conversely, a low figure may indicate poor practice in relation to this group of children, because their needs may

This indicator is intended to establish the extent to which foster care and placed for adoption placements, which current good practice consider to be suitable for the majority of children, are used by the council, particularly in relation to their comparators. It measures placement type as a proxy for good placement choice and for the appropriateness of the placements chosen. Most children’s needs are such that they will make better developmental progress in family settings rather than in residential care, although for a minority of children residential care will continue to offer the best solution. In most cases, caring for children in family settings also costs less than residential care.
p.97
Guidance/interpretation
This indicator is a refined version of PAF B7, which looked at children of all ages, rather than this age group. Since most children under 10 have been, for some years, placed with either foster parents or prospective adopters, it was decided to focus on older children: the group more likely to go into residential care. The CSCI document 'Children_PIs_2006-07.doc' has the full rationale for the change to PAF B79 from PAF B7. High figures are an indicator of good performance and low figures of poor performance. A higher value indicates both a better outcome and a more efficient one, subject to placing children with parents (under care orders) where appropriate and providing residential care for the minority of children for whom this is best. A very high figure, however, raises questions because it is likely that there will always be some children needing some form of residential care. Consideration should also be given to data on placements (2034SC CF/PAF A1, 2052SC, 2054SC, 2058SC, 2059SC CF/PAF C23,

Guidance/interpretation
Timescales for placing children for adoption will be affected by how easy or difficult it is to place them. Older children with more complex needs will take longer to place, as will sibling groups, disabled children and children from black and ethnic minority groups. It is important to ensure that councils are not achieving a good outcome on timescales by only making adoption decisions for younger children and/or those with less complex needs. Delays in placing children for adoption will also occur due to: insufficient in-house adopters; lack of funding to purchase external adoptive placements; poor care planning; or court delays. Numbers in the numerator for some councils will be small and the measure may vary significantly from year to year; this could have an impact on the figure which indicates volatility, where really there is none.

Looked after children and care leavers data
3085SC PAF CF/C69: Distance children newly looked after are placed from home - see p.157 Consideration should be given to the age at adoption, as older children with more complex needs are more difficult to place, as are sibling groups, disabled children and children from black and ethnic minority groups. Other factors worth considering are the proportion of placements for adoption ending in adoption; the trend in numbers of children looked after for more than 6 months; the numbers of children returning to own families; the numbers of children looked after for fairly short periods; the number of adoption breakdowns and the numbers of special guardianship orders in the relevant council. This is a complex indicator. Very important contextual data for this indicator is the actual trend in numbers of adoptions in each council. This is because an improvement in numbers of adoptions is not always evident in the final indicator value. Small numbers in this indicator
p.101
Looked after children and care leavers data
can also lead to some variability in the indicator value year on year. This volatility means, therefore, that the data needs to be treated with some caution. This indicator is designed to give some data on the effectiveness of the end of the adoption procedure and seeks to encourage the use of adoption. For most children the best place to grow up is with their birth parents. Where this is not possible, society has a clear responsibility to provide children with stability and permanence in their lives. The Government believes that more can and should be done to promote the wider use of adoption which offers the only legally secure placement for children unable to return to their birth families. This does not mean that adoption is appropriate for more than a minority of children.

A high figure is, generally, considered good performance and a low figure poor performance. Comparatively low rate of adoptions may suggest: delays in permanency planning and care planning; failure to consider adoption as an option for every child not returning to parents; insufficient adopters to meet need, lack of interagency budget to purchase placements outside the council; court delays. The figures may be low, though, because of the prevalence of factors, already discussed, which can militate against a higher score, but over which the council has little of no influence. A very high figure, particularly sustained over some years, should prompt further enquiry. It may be the result from the prevalence of factors assisting a council to achieve a high figure, but it may also be a result of a council placing children inappropriately. Consideration should also be given to other indicators on adoption (2058SC), placement (2043SC PAF CF/A1, 2067SC PAF CF/D78,

Guidance/interpretation
A high figure indicates good performance and a low figure indicates poor performance. A low number would suggest that further investigation is needed around the number, recruitment, retention, and allocation of social workers. A low number would also raise questions about the use and supervision of unqualified staff (see 6011SC-6012SC, 6015SC, 6020SC-6021SSC). The consequences of a low figure for this indicator can be quite widespread. It can have an impact, for example, of the stability of placement, through drift and on the timeliness of reviews, when lack of social work input can cause delays (see 2043SC, 2059SC, 2064SC, 2085SC, 4016SC). A high number, coupled with poor recruitment and retention figures or with an increasing volume of looked after work, should also prompt further investigation (see above and 2024SC.) All looked after children should be allocated to a qualified social worker; where direct work with the child is being done by an unqualified

worker or social work student, the council should ensure that that person is carefully supervised and the qualified worker has oversight of and control of the care plan, ensuring that statutory requirements are met.

Data definition
This indicator only refers to young people in receipt of social care services, not all young people who should have a transition plan. Some children with disabilities receiving services from children’s social care may not meet the threshold criteria to receive services from adult social care raising the question of how their future support needs will be met. This indicator may prompt consideration of the extent to which the council keeps accurate and useful data on children with disabilities to whom they provide services, as well as other children with disabilities who are in need, and the extent to which threshold criteria are clearly thought out. It should also prompt consideration about how well children's and adult's services work together to see that needs of the eligible children are met appropriately. 5026SC - What percentage of children with disabilities aged 14+ had a transition plan to support their move

Data Definition: One aspect of childcare is judged in this indicator, corresponding to one of the fourteen CA standards: Standard 3 - Care, learning and play: The registered person meets children's individual needs and promotes their welfare. They plan and provide activities and play opportunities to develop children's emotional, physical, social and intellectual capabilities. Health Warning: Data only takes into account registration visits that have been finalised. The latest CA inspections of active providers that have been quality assured (checks complete) and have not been withheld from publication. Since the December 2006 Local Authority Early Years Profile was published, the method used to capture registration actions has been revised and these figures reflect the change. Therefore, the percentage of providers with registration actions may differ slightly from the figures in the Profile and the Early Years APA briefing.

PSE includes 3 assessment scales: Dispositions and Attitudes, Social Development and Emotional Development; CLL includes 4 scales: Language for Communication and Thinking, Linking Sounds and Letters, Reading and Writing. The remaining 6 assessment scales in the FSP are in Mathematical Development (3 scales), Knowledge and Understanding of the World (1 scale), Physical Development (1 scale) and Creative Development (1 scale).

Health warning: The Foundation Stage Profile is a statutory stage of the National Curriculum and measures the achievement of children in the summer term preceding a child's transition to a Key Stage 1 programme of study. The child will usually have reached the age of 5 by this time. The FS curriculum and its assessment are not yet universally established and it is likely that the results in 2006 have followed the trend of earlier years and been affected by changes in the way assessment and moderation have been undertaken. Local authorities are at different stages of development in this process and this must be taken into account when assessing their results. The figures showing the percentage of children achieving a score of 78 points or more and 6 or more in each of the PSE and CLL scales are derived from the 10 per cent child level sample and are subject to sampling error.

Grade 1=Outstanding Grade 2=Good Grade 3=Satisfactory Grade 4=Inadequate Data definition: This indicator records inspectors' judgements about the quality and standards in the Foundation Stage. A full description of how these judgements are made by inspectors can be found in the relevant handbooks for school inspection.The figures represent the number of inspected schools that received outstanding, good, satisfactory and inadequate judgements. The percentages shown are the proportion of schools inspected who received each grade. Data includes Section 8 inspections deemed Section 5 inspections. Total number of LA maintained schools are from January 2006 and taken from the DCSF's school numbers Statistical First Release. They are provided for information only.

Health warning: Care should be taken in interpreting this data as it is based on a sample of schools and so may not be representative of all schools in the local authority. This data reflects the outcomes of Section 5 inspections undertaken between September 2005 and the 13th July 2007, when the latest data was received. As data may take up to two months to be confirmed, some data from this period may still be in moderation or incomplete, which could alter the final distribution of judgements. This is more likely to be from inspections awaiting confirmation of special measures or notice to improve. Due to the small number of special schools in most LAs it is not possible to make robust comparisons between the LA and SN figures. Therefore the percentage figures for special schools are not represented as part of this analysis. The judgements and grading scales in the Section 5 inspection framework cannot be mapped exactly to those made under previous frameworks, and no attempt should be made to do this.

The rate of change is calculated by fitting a regression line to these moving averages. The rate of change for all 150 LAs are then ranked. The top 10% are classed as 'Well above', the next 20% 'Above', the next 40% 'In line', the next 20% 'Below', the final 10% 'Well below'. Similarly the rate of change for each LAs group of statistical neighbours is calculated and deducted from each LA rate of change. The differences are then ranked, and the same classification is used to compare the LA against their statistical neighbours, as is used in the national calculation.

RAI, Ofsted Ref: 3004OF Data Definition: The indicator shows the percentage of KS1 pupils who achieve at least level 2 in Mathematics. Trend: The trend for each year is generated by taking a three point moving average of the LA percentage figures. The rate of change is calculated by fitting a regression line to these moving averages. The rate of change for all 150 LAs are then ranked. The top 10% are classed as 'Well above', the next 20% 'Above', the next 40% 'In line', the next 20% 'Below', the final 10% 'Well below'. Similarly the rate of change for each LAs group of statistical neighbours is calculated and deducted from each LA rate of change. The differences are then ranked, and the same classification is used to compare the LA against their statistical neighbours, as is used in the national calculation. The trend indicates whether the change over time in the LA is greater or less than the change over time for the national or statistical neighbours.

Data Definition: Value Added is a measure of the progress that individual pupils make from one key stage to another, relative to the national picture. It is calculated using pupil level data that has been matched using Unique Pupil Numbers (UPNs). This indicator measures progress between Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. A value added measure of 101.0 means that, on average in the LA, pupils have made about one term's worth of extra progress between KS1 to KS2 than the median pupil. Similarly, a value added measure of 99.0 suggests that, on average in the LA, pupils have made one term or less progress. Absent and 'disregarded' pupils are excluded from the calculation of the value added measure. Note that the KS1-KS2 value added measure is presented as a number around 100, the actual national average may differ from 100. *The average KS1-KS2 value added measure for maintained schools in England. Value added measures KS1 to KS2.

RAI, Ofsted Ref: 3012OF Data Definition: Value Added is a measure of the progress that individual pupils make from one key stage to another, relative to the national picture. It is calculated using pupil level data that has been matched using Unique Pupil Numbers (UPNs). This indicator measures progress between Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3. A value added measure of 101.0 means that, on average in the LA pupils have made about one term's worth of extra progress between KS2 to KS3 than the median pupil. Similarly, a value added measure of 99.0 would suggest that, on average in the LA, pupils have made one term or less progress. Absent and 'disregarded' pupils are excluded from the calculation of the value added measure. Note that although the national median for the value added score is centred around 100, the actual national average may differ from 100. *The average KS2-KS3 value added measure for maintained schools in England.

ENJOYING AND ACHIEVING
Health warning: The LA CVA score is the average rate of progress of all pupils in the LA and reflects the effectiveness of the groups of schools in the LA, not necessarily the overall effectiveness of the LA. The CVA figures include pupils from maintained schools including special schools. It excludes pupils in pupil referral units, Hospital schools, FE sector institutions and sixth form centres/consortia. Schools opened after January 06 are also excluded from the LA CVA score. Data Definition: The LA level contextual value added (CVA) score reflects the average rate of progress of all pupils in the LA. The LA CVA measure is calculated by aggregating the CVA scores of pupils at schools within the LA and applying an adjustment to take account of the number of pupils in the calculation – for most LAs this adjustment is very small. Pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 by summer 2006 (i.e. at the end of the 2005/06 school year) for who we have prior attainment

data are included in the school and LA level CVA measures. The CVA measures are centred around 1000. A CVA score of 1006.0 means that, on average pupils within the LA achieved one grade higher in one GCSE subject than similar pupils nationally. Similarly, a value added measure of 994.0 would suggest that, on average, pupils within the LA achieved one grade lower in one GCSE subject than similar pupils nationally. The coverage shows the percentage of pupils within the LA at the end of Key Stage 4 who were included in KS2-KS4 CVA measure. Along with the LA CVA score, the distribution of CVA scores of schools within the LA is shown. This shows the lowest, highest and median – or mid point – of CVA scores for the individual schools within the LA.

Health warning: N.B. This data shows the % of schools who fail to meet each floor target - this is not the same as showing what % of students failed to get 5 A* to Cs. Traffic lights have not been applied to this indicator, as to have any school not meeting the 2006 floor target is deemed to be a poor outcome. Please note that the target is assessed at three time points, but only two of these time points have been exceeded so far. All schools with pupils aged 15 on 31st August will have been included under the current target. In a minority of cases it is possible that a school is shown as failing the floor targets, although they had no pupils taking GCSEs. Data definition: This indicator shows the % of schools failing to meet each floor target. By 2008, 60% of those aged 16 should achieve the equivalent of 5 GCSEs at grades A* to C; and in all schools at least 20% of pupils achieve this standard by 2004, rising to 25% by 2006 and 30% by 2008.

It excludes all non-maintained schools, all special schools, all hospital schools, all pupil referral units, schools that closed ahead of publication of the tables, and schools that opened after the Annual School Census (be that through mergers, amalgamations or new establishments). GCSE and equivalent results are cumulative, i.e. all of the results achieved by those pupils in a particular year (winter and summer sessions) are counted, as well as any results they obtained in earlier years. Floor Target (2004 Spending Review PSA): by 2008, 60% of those aged 16 to achieve the equivalent of 5 GCSEs at grades A* to C; and in all schools at least 20% of pupils achieve this standard by 2004, rising to 25% by 2006 and 30% by 2008

Therefore the percentage figures for special schools are not represented as part of this analysis. The judgements and grading scales in the Section 5 inspection framework cannot be mapped exactly to those made under previous frameworks, and no attempt should be made to do this.

p.147
Data Definition:
A fixed period exclusion refers to a pupil who is excluded from a school but remains on the register of that school because they are expected to return when the exclusion period is completed. A permanent exclusion refers to a pupil who is excluded and their name is removed from the school register. Where a student receives more than one fixed period exclusion during the year, each exclusion will be counted separately. Fixed term exclusions of less than a day are counted as one full day. Exclusion rates based on less than 3 pupils are not shown (indicated by #). This missing data means that SN figures could be misleading, so they are not given for permanent exclusions (indicated by ..) This indicator shows the number of fixed period and permanent exclusions expressed as a percentage of the number (headcount) of pupils in the local authority. The national figures are DCSF published figures. They are mean averages of the sum of each type of exclusion in all LAs, divided by the sum of the pupils in all LAs. However the SN figures

Data Definition:
Health warning : The two types of exclusions are shown together to present a fuller picture of exclusions policies within the area: fixed term exclusions can be used as a strategy to prevent permanent exclusions, so are not necessarily a negative outcome for children and young people. For this reason, LA's fixed term exclusion rates do not have traffic lights. Please use with caution: high exclusion rates are a measure of how an area deals with behavioural issues - but a high rate may not always be an indication that an area has particularly poor behaviour. All %s are based on low numbers of students. Due to changes in the data collection information on fixed period exclusions the data is not available for maintained primary schools for 2006.

If you have any queries concerning this data please contact Nick Read on 020 7271 3068 Ref: 3080YJ Data Definition (April 2006 onwards): The YJB has set YOTs a target to ensure that 90% of young offenders supervised by YOTs are in full time education, training or employment. Five offending populations are included for measurement. These are those offenders on final warnings, referral orders, reparation orders, community based penalties and custodial sentences. Full time ETE is defined as 25 hours per week for those of statutory school age and 16 hours per week for those over statutory school age. Full counting rules are posted on the YJB website.

ETE
KPI Performance Variation (d) The YJB has changed the Counting Rules to differentiate between 25+ hours (full-time for statutory school age young people) and 16-24 hours (part-time for statutory school age; full time for non-statutory school age) from April 2006. The data from April 2006 is calculated using a weighting system: [(Numbers in full-time ETE) + 1/2(numbers in part-time ETE)] as the numerator; number of young people supervised by the YOT as the denominator. Prior to April 2006 YOTs only returned the number of young people in full-time ETE and this is shown in the above data. This change has led to a small shift in how YOTs have interpreted and reported the ETE status of some young people, despite no formal change to the KPI or Counting Rules. The YJB feels that the resulting small drop in reported national performance represents a move towards a more accurate picture of the issue of disengagement from ETE.

Guidance/interpretation
2068SC PAF CF/B79: % of children aged at least 10 and under 16 who were in foster placements or placed for adoption - see p.97 There is evidence that while in some cases a distant or out-of-authority placement may be the right decision for a child, for many children such placements are not in their best interests. Children placed at a distance from home (especially out-of-authority) are likely to achieve poorer educational and other outcomes than those placed within their home area. Local authorities will find it harder to act as an attentive corporate parent where children are living far away. In general, children will be less likely to thrive if they are living well away from their own communities. This indicator addresses the capacity of councils to have sufficient placements near to home to allow contact with natural parent(s), siblings and other relatives and local communities to be facilitated. Apart from in very few cases, the further from home
p.158
Guidance/interpretation
a child is placed, the harder it is to maintain links with their family and for them to return to their community when they leave school or care. A key issue with this indicator is the reasoning behind why a child would be placed far from home and involves elements of both placement choice and placement availability (2043SC, 2059SC, 3085SC). Educational performance is also an important element to be considered (3071SC-3074SC). The results for this indicator need to be treated with caution. While it is true of all indicators that no one p.i. should ever be used on its own to make a judgement, it is particularly the case with this indicator. So, for example, the extent to which children thrive may not be influenced by distance at all. Also, a move of 5 miles in an urban area can have the same, or worse, dislocating consequences for a child as one of 30 miles in a rural area. In 2005-06, 37% of authorities had figures of between 1 and 5 in their numerator: results should be interpreted carefully for all authorities

This indicator differs from 3072SC PAF CF/A2 and 3073SC, however, in that it provides snapshots of those looked after for at least a year at 30 September, as opposed to aggregate data on those who ceased to be looked after, after being looked after for any period, in the year prior to the relevant 31 March. It also includes unaccompanied asylum seeking children looked after for one year, whereas the other two indicators require such children to be looked after for at least two. N.B. In 2006-07, for this indicator and 3074SC CF/C24, the data for 30 September 2006 relates to the school year 2005-2006, i.e. the school year that ended in July 2006. [Source - OC2 question 6a]

Denominator
This indicator measures the extent to which a council is able to ensure that children looked after are able to sit GSCE or equivalent exams. Educational attainment is one of the most important determinants of future outcomes and no attainment can be achieved if a looked after child does not get to sit an exam. There is clearly a need for cooperation between local authorities, schools, and other partners with an interest, to improve the attainment of children looked after. This should be orchestrated through the children’s trust partnership arrangements. The indicator includes those children looked after for at least one year and emphasises the council’s corporate responsibility for the education of vulnerable children.
p.159
Guidance/interpretation
Conversely, frequent moves between placements (2043SC PAF CF/A1), school absence (3074SC PAF CF/C24) offending (4015SC PAF CF/C18) and distance from home (3085SC PAF CF/C69) may be related to poor educational attainment. A high figure is an indicator of good performance and a low figure of poor performance. This is a potentially volatile indicator because it can deal with quite small numbers of young people; small changes can have large consequences for the resulting indicator values. It is, nonetheless, a good guide to the extent to which a council is successfully helping its cohort of young people get to the exam room door. As always with educational indicators, though, consideration needs to be given to the proportion of children educated out-of-authority. Sometimes the more proximate the council's corporate parenting support system is to the child, the more effective that support tends to be.

p.162
Guidance/interpretation
The construction of this indicator is similar to 3073SC, but differs from 3071SC, in that it provides aggregate data on those who ceased to be looked after, after being looked after for any period, in the three years previous to the relevant 31 March, rather than a snapshot of those looked after for at least a year. It also only includes unaccompanied asylum seeking children when they have been looked after for at least two years, rather than one. Research has shown that the family and social backgrounds of looked after children suggest a higher likelihood of lower achievement and that looked after children achieve less well than their peers. Adverse factors in the backgrounds of children looked after, though, need to be taken into account. The high percentage of children with statements of special needs, for example, in the looked after population is an important element (around 27% in the looked after population compared to around 3% in the general school-age population). Other
p.162
Guidance/interpretation
factors include not having English as a first language or coming from poorer families (as evidenced by use of free school meals). See the DCSF website for tables on attainment analysed against some of these factors: http://www.dfes.gov.uk/rsgateway/DB/SFR/s000640/ index.shtml. This indicator provides data on achievement by LAC at all pass grades in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the council's corporate parenting in the area of attainment. Educational attainment is one of the most important determinants of future outcomes and a measure that is supported by readily available information. There is clearly a need for cooperation between local authorities, schools, and other partners with an interest, to improve the attainment of children looked after. This should be orchestrated through the children’s trust partnership arrangements. The indicator includes the majority of children looked after (for specific exclusions see the denominator), regardless of how long they have been looked

p.162
Guidance/interpretation
Frequent moves between placements (2043SC CF/A1), school absence (3074SC CF/C24) and offending (4015SC CF/C18) may be related to educational attainment. So too may distance from home (3085SC PAF CF/C69) and the timeliness of reviews (2064SC PAF CF/C68). Low scores in this indicator will feed through to employment, education and training for care leavers (5022SC PAF CF/A4).

High figures indicate good performance and low figures, generally, indicate low performance. This is, though, a volatile indicator because it often deals with quite small numbers of young people. Small changes can have large consequences for the resulting indicator values. In addition, the presence in the cohort of: young people looked after for a brief period, over whose education a council can have limited or non-existent influence; young people with severe disabilities, who are unable to take any exams; and young people with mental health issues, can also have a significant effect on a council’s resulting indicator score. Consistent high performance in this indicator is, therefore, is difficult to maintain and is good evidence of a council's corporate parenting in relation to attainment. As always with educational indicators, though, consideration needs to be given to the proportion of children educated out-of-authority.
p.162

Sometimes the more proximate the council's corporate parenting support system is to the child, the more effective that support tends to be. The most recent target set for children looked after to achieve 1 A*-G GCSE was the national Quality Protects target for 2002-03 of 75%. The England average for this indicator in 2005-06 was 53%, an increase on the previous year, but still well short of this target. Overall performance remains very distant from the comparable figure for the general population of 16 year olds which, in 2005, was 97%.

Consequently, Ofsted has collected GNVQ data and matched it with the relevant GCSE data from the 903 collection to calculate the final value for 2006-07. Of the young people in the denominator: the number who on leaving care had obtained at least 5 GCSE at grade A* - C or GNVQ at foundation or intermediate level equivalent to grade A*-C. Qualifications gained before the young person was looked after and qualifications from exams sat while the young person was looked after are included, even if the results were announced after the young person ceased to be looked after.

Placements moves (2043SC CF/A1), distance from home (3085SC CF/C69), school absence (3074SC CF/C24) and offending (4015SC CF/C18) may be related to lower educational attainment. Similarly, low scores on frequency of review (2064SC CF/68) and participation at review (2022SC CF/63) may have an adverse effect. Lower scores in this indicator may feed through to a lower score in the indicator on employment, education and training for care leavers (5022SC PAF CF/A4). This indicator provides data on the highest achieving LAC in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the council's corporate parenting in the area of attainment. High figures indicate good performance and low figures indicate, generally, poor performance, though both need to be seen in relation to comparator data and great caution needs to be exercised in the assessment of a council's performance here. This is a very volatile indicator because it often deals with quite small numbers of young people. Small changes can have large
p.164
City of London
consequences for the resulting indicator values. In addition, the presence in the cohort of: young people looked after for a brief period, over whose education a council can have limited or non-existent influence; young people with severe disabilities, who are unable to take any exams; and young people with mental health issues, can also have a significant effect on a council’s resulting indicator score.

The PSA target on the education of looked after children, set in April 2003, set a target of at least 15% of children looked after achieve, in all local authorities, at least five GCSEs at A*-C. The England average for this indicator in 2005-06 was 8%. Overall performance remains very distant from the comparable figure for the general population of 16 year olds which, in 2006, was 59%. Performance on this indicator has made only slow progress because, often as a result of the small numbers involved and the fact that

much depends on exactly when the young person ceases to be looked after, a good result in one year for a council does not necessarily lead to a good result the following year.

It attempts to ensure that they have the maximum opportunity to benefit from their education. Access to school is a key factor in improving the stability of their lives. Continuous attendance will lead to improving education achievement. Local authorities, schools and other partners with an interest need to work together to ensure that when children become looked after they continue to access school, or that if a change of school is unavoidable, appropriate school provision is arranged before the care placement is finalised. Procedures should be in place to ensure that the absence of looked after children for any reason is

The rates of looked after children missing 25 days or more of school are not directly comparable to data for all children in a council area. The data collected by the DCSF from schools on absence differentiate between authorised and unauthorised absence, whereas C24 does not. The data from schools do not allow the calculation of rates of children missing at least 25 days of school. As always with educational indicators, though, consideration needs to be given to the proportion of children educated out-of-authority. Sometimes the more proximate the council's corporate parenting support system is to the child, the more effective that support tends to be. Low figures generally indicate good performance and high figures generally indicate poor performance. Where there has been a recent rise in the indicator value score, consideration needs to be given to whether the council is using a dedicated data collection resource, whether in-council or commissioned from a third party. Some preliminary research has shown that the
p.166
Related measures
advent of the use of such a resource increases the indicator value because it reveals the true figure. Better data management and the gathering of better intelligence is evidence of good corporate parenting and it is this, rather than the increased value, on which assessment of performance should focus in this instance. Consideration needs to be given to the proportion of children that may not have a school place for some time following a placement move, particularly where it was not anticipated. Also frequent moves between placements (2043SC PAF CF/A1) and offending (4015SC PAF CF/C18) may be related to school attendance. There may be connections between participation in, and timeliness of, reviews (4016SC CF/C63 & 2064SC PAF CF/C68) where school non-attendance should be addressed. Low scores in this indicator will feed through to educational attainment (3071SC, 3073SC & 3072SC PAF CF/A2) and, later, to
p.166

employment, education and training for care leavers (5022SC PAF CF/A4). Perhaps most notably there is a likely link between attendance, which is declining on average, and the very slow progress made by many councils in 3072SC PAF CF/A2.

Health warning: Care should be taken in interpreting this data as it is based on a sample of schools and so may not be representative of all schools in the local authority. This data reflects the outcomes of Section 5 inspections undertaken between September 2005 and the 13th July 2007, when the latest data was received. As data may take up to two months to be confirmed, some data from this period may still be in moderation or incomplete, which could alter the final distribution of judgements. This is more likely to be from inspections awaiting confirmation of special measures or notice to improve. Due to the small number of special schools in most LAs it is not possible to make robust comparisons between the LA and SN figures. Therefore the percentage figures for special schools are not represented as part of this analysis. The judgements and grading scales in the Section 5 inspection framework cannot be mapped exactly to those made under previous frameworks, and no attempt should be made to do this.

p.174
Data Definition:
A permanent exclusion refers to a pupil who is excluded and their name is removed from the school register. This indicator shows the number of permanent exclusions during the academic year expressed as a percentage of the number (headcount) of pupils in maintained and non-maintained special schools in the Local Authority. Data will be missing if the local authority does not have any schools of this type. Exclusion rates based on less than 3 pupils are not shown (indicated by #). This missing data means that SN figures could be misleading, so they are not provided (indicated by ..) Dual registered pupils are not included. The National figures are DCSF published figures. They are mean averages of the number of exclusions in all LAs, divided by the sum of the pupils in all LAs.

Data Definition:
Health warning : There should be no permanent exclusions of pupils in special schools because the statement review process should be used to identify placements which are no longer appropriate.

p.175
City of London
Data Definition: A fixed period exclusion refers to a pupil who is excluded from a school but remains on the register of that school because they are expected to return when the exclusion period is completed. Where a student receives more than one fixed period exclusion during the year, each exclusion will be counted separately. Fixed term exclusions of less than a day are counted as one full day. This indicator shows the number of fixed period exclusions during the academic year expressed as a percentage of the number (headcount) of pupils in maintained special schools in the Local Authority. Please note that non- maintained special schools are excluded. Data will be missing if the local authority does not have any schools of this type.

KPI Performance
Data Definition: Reduce year on year, the number of first time entrants to the youth justice system by identifying children and young people at risk of offending or involvement in anti-social behaviour through a YISP or other evidence based targeted means of intervention designed to reduce those risks and strengthen protective factors as demonstrated by using ONSET or other effective means of assessment and monitoring. Full counting rules are posted on the YJB website. (d) The 2004-05 data is calculated using a proxy measure: the number of pre-court disposals (reprimands and final warnings) and number of direct entrants to court. From April 2005, the actual number of first time entrants is counted. Therefore the 2004-05 data may be slightly inflated compared to the 2005-06 data. Therefore comparisons cannot be made between 04/05 and 05/06.

Data from HMI Probation led inspection of Youth Offending Teams from a representative sample. Asset is a structured assessment tool to be used by YOTs in England and Wales on all young offenders who come into contact with the criminal justice system. It aims to look at the young person’s offence or offences and identify a multitude of factors or circumstances – ranging from lack of educational attainment to mental health problems – which may have contributed to such behaviour. The information gathered from Asset can be used to inform court reports so that appropriate intervention programmes can be drawn up.

As data may take up to two months to be confirmed, some data from this period may still be in moderation or incomplete, which could alter the final distribution of judgements. This is more likely to be from inspections awaiting confirmation of special measures or notice to improve. Due to the small number of special schools in most LAs it is not possible to make robust comparisons between the LA and SN figures. Therefore the percentage figures for special schools are not represented as part of this analysis. The judgements and grading scales in the Section 5 inspection framework cannot be mapped exactly to those made under previous frameworks, and no attempt should be made to do this.

A figure of one shows that children looked after are given final warnings/reprimands or are convicted at the same rate as all children in the area; less than one would show children looked after are given final warnings/reprimands or convicted less than all children. Such low values would be unlikely and may be due to poor data quality. Consideration should always be given to the proportion of the relevant young people who are placed outside of authority and the extent to which data is captured effectively on these young people. Offending is both a factor in the past history of a significant number of children who become looked after and is a measure of the quality of care and support children receive once in care. Caution should be exercised in the interpretation of this indicator. It is a complex ratio rather than a number of young people in the area as it compares final warnings/ reprimands or convictions for children looked after by each council with the rate for all children in the police

force area, which may cover several adjoining councils. Those councils may either be advantaged or disadvantaged by the denominator.
p.191
Guidance/interpretation
In 2005-06 the percentage of looked after children that received a final warning/reprimand or conviction (the numerator) remained at 9.3%. This is still above the previous PSA target level of 7.2% that was to be achieved by 2004. Although the looked after offending rate has been falling in the past few years, the rate of offending in the 10 to 17 year old population as a whole has fallen more sharply. Consideration, therefore, should be given to the trend of the looked after offending rate within the council as this is, by itself, good evidence of good (or, indeed, poor) performance. There is a relationship between offending and educational attendance & attainment (3071SC, 3073SC, 3072SC CF/A2 & 3074SC CF/C24) and a young persons situation as a care leaver (5022SC CF/A4), as well as a potential one with the conduct of reviews (4016SC CF/C63 & 2064SC PAF CF/C68). The nature of the complex ratio that forms this indicator means that making a clear link is not

Guidance/interpretation
straightforward, hence the need to consider the looked after component on its own. Nearly one in three councils had relatively small numbers of looked after children, that is fewer than 10, that fell into the required category for inclusion in 4015SC PAF CF/C18 in 2005-06. Small changes in numbers can have large consequences to the end result and the measure may, therefore, be subject to large swings from year to year. It is important to look separately at the numerator and denominator for this indicator. The trend data is also key, because a council may be successfully reducing its looked after numerator ratio while the denominator ratio for the police force area is reducing at a faster rate.

[Source - SSDA903] All children looked after at 31 March who had been reviewed during the year to 31 March. Excludes those who started to be looked after on or after 4 March in the latest year. It excludes children looked after under a series of short term breaks. Children under the age of four (code PN 0) should be excluded.
p.192
Data definition
* Any reviews before their fourth birthday and coded as PN0 should be disregarded. * The participation code[s] for the review[s] following their fourth birthday should determine their inclusion in the numerator. * The child should be counted in the denominator. For children who reach four years of age during the year and who are due to have one or more reviews between their fourth birthday and the end of the year: There was a change to CF/C63, in 2005-06, from the coverage of participation at the most recent review of each relevant looked after child to the coverage of participation in all reviews. The denominator should consist of the number of looked after children who qualify and who were looked after at March 31 [i.e. not the number of reviews of those children in the preceding year]. Therefore, if a child who is looked after at 31 March 2007 has had three reviews in 2006-07 which meet the criteria for inclusion, the child is counted in the denominator, and the numerator should report only

Looked after children and care leavers data
The extent to which a child participates in their reviews may have an impact on the outcomes for the child in key areas, as well as the indicators can cover them, such as health (1037SC CF/C19), offending (4015SC PAF CF/C18), educational attendance & attainment (3071SC, 3073SC, 3072SC CF/A2 & 3074SC CF/C24) and a young persons later situation as a care leaver (5022SC CF/A4) There is a statutory obligation to review the cases of looked after children, first within 28 days of their becoming looked after, then within a further three months, and subsequently at intervals of no more than six months until they cease to be looked after. Councils need to ensure that the views expressed by children and young people are given due consideration and action taken where appropriate to achieve agreed outcomes for the young person. Where children have not participated, councils also need to ensure that they have a good understanding of the reasons for this and plans

in place to minimise non-participation. Consideration should be given to: the age of these children, in relation to the appropriate engagement of the very youngest children; children placed out-of-authority, in relation to the facilitation of effective participation of those distant from the council area; the extent to which children had a severe disability; and the extent to which the children did not want to participate in their review. All of these factors can have a bearing on the indicator value. The indicator measures participation in the review process as a proxy for the measurement of the effectiveness of the monitoring of the care of looked after children. The active participation of looked after children in planning their care should contribute to improved outcomes. To ensure that the views of looked after children and young people are listened to, good practice dictates that they should either attend and participate in the
p.193
Looked after children and care leavers data
review meeting, or should at least be able to express their views by some other appropriate method. The indicator measures the percentage of looked after children who did so at all their statutory reviews. The definition of the indicator allows for a wide range of ways in which this might happen. Only if the child or young person does not attend or express their views by any other means are they considered not to have participated in the review.

In contrast to other school and college indicators presented in this toolkit, WBL analysis is based on the local authority where the young person lives, not the local authority where they study. The overall success rate measures the percentage of work-based learners who successfully completed their apprenticeship framework or the main NVQ element of their programme at any time. Learners are counted in the later of their planned end year and their actual end year. The timely success rate measures the percentage of work-based learners who successfully completed their framework or NVQ by their planned end date, or within one month of it. Learners are counted in their planned end year. For more details please see the LSC's Implementing Measures of Success: The Handbook.

The figures in all the success rate calculations are limited to learners aged under 19 as at 31st August in the year which they started their learning.

ethnicity and disability)
These figures use a different methodology from those which has historically been used by the LSC and the inspectorates. The change should not have a significant effect on performance at local authority level. The matching process used to generate the dataset for calculating this indicator means that not every learner could be allocated to a local authority which could have an impact on the figures.

Interpretation:
If you have any queries concerning this data please contact jarandapadata@ofsted.gov.uk & quote REF: 5039AL In the ethnic group figures, the "white" category includes those classified as White-Irish and White-Other, as well as White-British. The "non-white" category includes all other ethnic groups, including those whose ethnic group was unknown or not stated.
p.204
Interpretation:
There are considerable variations in NVQ success rates across different sectors within work-based learning. There are also significant differences in the proportions of learners with different characteristics within sectors. Variations in success rates between groups of learners with different characteristics may, therefore, relate in part to the different sectors they are learning in. Figures for disability/learning need are based on learners' self-declaration. A proportion, usually under 10%, of learners do not respond to the relevant questions. They are included in the non-disabled/learning need group.
p.204
Interpretation:
For apprenticeship programmes, the NVQ success rate figures show the success rate for the NVQ element of the framework. This includes the breakdown of success rates by learner characteristics.
p.204
Interpretation:
The methodology used here is broadly equivalent to that used in FE colleges but takes account of the different nature of work-based learning programmes.
p.204
Interpretation:
The disability/learning need figures do not distinguish between learners with a disability, those with a learning need and those with both. Typically, the number with learning needs is higher than those with a disability. In most cases, the learning needs identified are either moderate learning difficulties or dyslexia. Many learners living in the area may be with learning providers based outside the local authority area.

Inspection findings
Crèches: Facilities that provide occasional care for children under eight and are provided on particular premises on more than five days a year. They need to be registered where they run for more than two hours a day, even when individual children attend for shorter periods. Some are in permanent premises and care for children while parents are engaged in particular activities, for example shopping or sport. Others are established on a temporary basis to care for children while their parents are involved in time-limited activities, for example a conference or exhibition.
p.209
Inspection findings
Multiple Day Care Types: Some providers offer more than one type of day care, for example operating full day care and an out of school club. In this profile, these multiple day care types have been counted separately. In the other sections, they multiple day care types have been shown as single entities under their own category, to avoid double counting of inspections and actions issued. Childminder: A childminder is registered to look after one or more children under the age of eight to whom they are not related on domestic premises for reward and for a total of more than two hours in any day. Full Day Care: Facilities that provide day care for children under eight for a continuous period of four hours or more in any day in premises which are not domestic premises. Examples are day nurseries and Children’s centres, and some family centres.
p.209
Inspection findings
Sessional Day Care: Facilities where children under eight attend day care for no more than five sessions a week, each session being less than a continuous period of four hours in any day. Where two sessions are offered in any one day, there is a break between sessions with no children in the care of the provider. This is intended to cover provision which offers children part-time care and the opportunity to engage in activities with their peer group, e.g. playgroups.
p.209
Inspection findings
Out of School Care: Facilities that provide day care for children under eight which operate during one or more of the following periods: before school; after school; and during the school holidays. The total care provided is for more than two hours in any day and for more than five days a year. A main purpose of the provision is to look after children in the absence of their parents. This form of care can include children from three years old and children over eight may use it. Examples are summer camps, holiday play schemes, breakfast clubs, after school clubs. Open Access Schemes are included. These may be permanent of short term schemes and generally cater for older children, however, children aged five to seven may attend. The main purpose of the provision is to provide supervised play opportunities for children in a safe environment in the absence of their parents. Early Years Definitions of Childcare Types

[Source: ALI & Ofsted Post 16 Education & Training Inspection (2001-05 Common Inspection Framework)] These judgements reflect the outcomes of the inspections undertaken between September 2001 and July 2005. This indicator records inspectors' judgements about how well learners achieve. A full description of how these judgements are made by inspectors can be found here [http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/publications/docs/1037.pdf]. The figures represent the number of colleges inspected that received an excellent, very good, good, satisfactory, unsatisfactory, poor or very poor judgement. Please note figures may be blank where there were no colleges in the LA, or none were inspected during this period. If a college received a full re-inspection, the latest re-inspection judgements are shown.

Health warning: Care should be taken in interpreting this data as it is based on a sample of schools and so may not be representative of all schools in the local authority. This data reflects the outcomes of Section 5 inspections undertaken between September 2005 and the 13th July 2007, when the latest data was received. As data may take up to two months to be confirmed, some data from this period may still be in moderation or incomplete, which could alter the final distribution of judgements. This is more likely to be from inspections awaiting confirmation of special measures or notice to improve. Due to the small number of special schools in most LAs it is not possible to make robust comparisons between the LA and SN figures.

The figures include only those young people in full time education and work based learning, and those in other forms of education and training (employer funded training, private training organisations, etc) are excluded. This indicator measures those that had their 17th birthday within the academic years highlighted above. Figures for the 14 individual Inner London LAs cannot be estimated reliably so data is not shown. Figures will not match Connexions data shown in this dataset.

Note that this includes any periods that may have been separated by stays in other forms of temporary accommodation. Measurement should commence on the date when the household first entered this form of accommodation(eg, to discharge the s.188 duty). Note that this will not necessarily be the date on which the authority decided that the s.193 duty was owed (it may be before or after). As the indicator relates to the cumulative period spent by the household in(i) bed and breakfast and (ii) hostel accommodation it should include any relevant time before the start of the financial year 2003/2004. Time spent by a homeless household in self contained accommodation (where the household does not share any washing, cooking or bathing facilities etc) should not be included in the calculation of the average.

Data Definition:
Due to the introduction of child tax credits in 2003 there was concern that the numbers of children being recorded on the system was deficient. In 2005 a different methodology was adopted for creating data for the surestart programme. This involved using Child Benefit data scans to match to claimants data. This methodology was then used to rework the 2004 data.

5037SC % of care leavers at age 19 who are living in suitable accommodation (as judged by the council) - see p.237 To be counted as 'in touch' for the purposes of this item, there should be "contact" between the council and the young person sometime within the timeframe of 3 months before and one month after the young person's 19th birthday. Consideration might be given the nature of that contact and the extent to which it is meaningful or perfunctory. Account should also be taken of the reluctance of the young people to be 'in touch'; this can have a very strong influence on this indicator.
p.236
Guidance/interpretation
Research shows that care leavers experience high levels of unemployment and are at risk of homelessness and social exclusion. This indicator shows the performance of local authorities in improving outcomes for young people leaving their care, so that they are enabled to achieve, to make a positive contribution and to be offered the opportunity to secure their future economic well being. Using the new definition of this indicator, introduced in 2004-05 – which applies a denominator of the percentage of local young people in education, employment and training to the percentage of care leavers in education, employment and training, to produce a ratio of one to the other - an outturn ratio of 0.92, for example, shows that the level of care leavers in education, employment and training is at 92% of the level of young people in education, employment and training in the local population.
p.236
Guidance/interpretation
Numbers of young people in the numerator may be small in some smaller councils and the measure therefore subject to large swings from year to year. Nearly one council in three had fewer than 20 care leavers in the numerator for 2005-06. Small changes in the 19 year- old cohort can have large consequences for the end result. Data for the percentage of all young people in employment, training or education were derived from the Labour Force Survey. Since these figures are from a survey and relate to the population aged 18-24 rather than at age 19 they are subject to a margin of error. More importantly, the denominator covers a wider age-range than the numerator because the LFS is a national sample survey and limiting results to those aged 19 at council level could produce unreliable results. Ideally the LFS would have sufficient coverage to provide an estimate for 19 year olds at a local level so that the comparison with data on formerly looked after children at age 19 could be as precise
p.236
Guidance/interpretation
as possible. Sample error, however, would be too great for this and hence the 18-24 year old cohort is used. Data on the regional and national variation in the percentage of 19 year olds in employment, education and training in 2003 suggests that the difference between single years of age is not marked.
p.236
Guidance/interpretation
Consideration needs to be given to the type, duration and quality of the education, employment or training that it being received by the care leavers, as well as the extent to which it will assist the young people in later life. Although there are links with this indicator to the education and offending history of the relevant young people, the most direct connections can be made with the indicators cover pathway plans and personal advisers (2038SC) and the suitability of care leavers accommodation (5037SC). High scores on all three would indicate the possibility of good outcomes for the young people; low scores would indicate the reverse. Any significant variations between these indicators should prompt further questions about the data, and the practice that lies behind it.

This indicator measures suitability of accommodation as a proxy for the effectiveness of care leaving services. To be counted as 'in touch' for the purposes of this item, there should be "contact" between the council and the young person sometime within the timeframe of 3 months before and one month after the young person's 19th birthday. Consideration might be given the nature of that contact and the extent to which it is meaningful or perfunctory. [Source - SSDA903] Young people who had been looked after on 1 April of year 't-2' under an agreed series of short term placements are excluded. b. who were looked after and turned 17 on the 1 April year 't-2' and who ceased to be looked after before their 19th birthday

Guidance/interpretation
There are no hard and fast rules on whether accommodation is deemed 'suitable'; the decision will depend on the circumstances of the individual case, and councils have to use their judgment. The classification set out in the 903 Frequently Asked Questions is intended to give an indication of the kinds of accommodation that would generally be considered 'suitable' or 'unsuitable'.

2038SC % of eligible, relevant and former relevant children that have pathway plans, have been allocated a personal adviser and are resident outside the council's boundaries - see p.78 Accommodation is to be regarded as suitable if it provides safe, secure and affordable provision for young people. It would generally include short-term accommodation designed to move young people on to stable long-term accommodation, but would exclude emergency accommodation used in a crisis. Accommodation that clearly exposes the person to risk of harm or social exclusion by reason of its location or other factors should be coded as 'unsuitable'. Accommodation that is 'Emergency accommodation' (e.g. night shelter, direct access, emergency hostel), 'Bed and breakfast' or 'In custody' (categories V, W, and X) should usually be considered 'unsuitable'. The suitability of the accommodation, though, is a subjective judgement and consideration should be given to the council's evidence

A trend of rising budgets may reflect work on realigning budgets to ensure they reflect actual spend and/or priorities. Alternatively this could indicate weak budgetary control. Significant budget reductions are likely to impact on service delivery and will need further exploration. There may be patterns of local expenditure on children's services, especially in relation to pooled budgets with partner agencies under the children's trust arrangements, that may impact on this indicator. This measure provides some indication of councils' intended financial commitment to children's social care services. It will not identify overspends in the year - see 6006SC KIGS EX61 for outturn data. It will reflect the differences in costs incurred in different parts of England. It will also reflect differences in deprivation.

Any significant variation between an area’s budget for children’s social care services and its comparator group needs to be explored. Significantly higher spend suggests a strong commitment to children’s services, but there is a need to explore value for money and partners’ contributions. A high level of spend does not always result in more effective services delivering better outcomes. Conversely, significantly lower budgets suggest a lack of commitment to children’s social care services and the impact of this on the range and quality of services and outcomes for children and young people will need to be explored. £ per head

Any significant variation between an area’s budget for children’s social care services and its comparator group needs to be explored. If expenditure on family support is significantly lower than comparators this may be due to strong cost effective commissioning arrangements to deliver preventative services, and /or effective pooled budgets with partners. In the absence of these, low expenditure on family support indicates insufficient family support services which is likely to result in more children being looked after and/or more children with child protection plans. High spend on family support should be helping to reduce the numbers of looked after children and/or children with child protection plans. If these numbers remain high it suggests that family support services are ineffectively targeted.

Measuring unit
The most recent Children in Need census data, for 2005, may provide some historical evidence on the balance between costs of looked after children's services and other costs. This indicator acts as a proxy for access to preventative services. Adequate provision of such services can prevent children being looked after later. A low figure would indicate that a council was providing a relatively small amount of preventative services. There may be patterns of local expenditure on children's services, especially in relation to pooled budgets with partner agencies under the children's trust arrangements, that may impact on this indicator.

If the number of disabled children receiving support is significantly lower than comparators this suggests that an inadequate range of support is in place. This measure will in part reflect whether the council is in a low or high cost area. It will also reflect the characteristics of the population of the area. If the area is relatively deprived expenditure may be higher - see commentary on 6024SC CF/B8. Similarly the rate will reflect the make-up of children looked after by the council: if there are high proportions of adolescents or disabled children expenditure per head may be higher. If, however, a significant proportion of the looked after children are placed at home with parents the rate may be lower. The numerator covers expenditure by the council on services for looked after children other than social work. It includes the costs of children's homes and boarding schools as well as fostering, lodgings, independent living and a range of specialist placements, and all

[Source - PSSEX1] The total number of weeks children (other than asylum seeking children) spent in foster care, children's homes, residential schools and placed for adoption (placement codes A1, A2, F1 to F6, H3 to H5 and S1 as defined by the SSDA903 collection) during the year. Children's homes include community homes, voluntary homes and hostels and private registered children's homes. Any placements that formed part of an agreed series of short term-placements (under the provisions of Reg. 13 of the Arrangement for Placement of Children (General) Regulations, 1991) and any time spent in respect of respite care are included. Calculation based on the total number of days of care divided by 7.

6003SC KIGS BU07: Total Personal Social Services (PSS) budget per capita - see p.239 The cost of services is an important aspect of efficient delivery of services. Other things being equal, such as quality and all children's needs being adequately met, a lower cost is generally held to be more efficient. With this indicator the overall cost of looking after children (in residential or foster care) can be assessed allowing for potential changes in costs of particular forms of care such as fostering, arising from changes to quality and supply. Performance against all of the measures in the cost and efficiency performance area will be taken as evidence of progress against the improvement in social care efficiency target of at least 2.5% year-on-year required at a national level by the Government.
p.248
Guidance/interpretation
There may be patterns of local expenditure on children's services, especially in relation to pooled budgets with partner agencies under the children's trust arrangements, that may impact on this indicator. This indicator can be improved by commissioning foster care and residential care at lower unit cost and, more importantly, by shifting the pattern of care away from residential to foster care. Moving children from residential to foster care may increase the unit costs of both as more dependent children are cared for in both settings, but still decrease CF/B8. This measure will reflect the differences in costs incurred in different parts of England. It will also reflect differences in deprivation.
p.248
Guidance/interpretation
High costs may indicate that high numbers of looked after children are being placed with expensive independent providers. If this is the case need to explore the strategy to address it. High costs may also be linked to the cost of covering high levels of sickness absence among residential staff. It is also possible for high costs to occur when numbers looked after reduce, because the cohort remaining may have a proportionately greater need for specialist placements, which are likely to be more expensive.

The rate of expenditure will also reflect the cost profile of the council area, deprivation levels and associated numbers of children looked after and children adopted in the year. The rate will also reflect continuing commitments to adoptive families in terms of adoption allowances and other support services. Outcomes for children who are adopted are generally good. If children cannot live within their birth or extended family then adoption needs to be considered. If spend on adoption services is significantly lower than comparators this suggests a lack of commitment to promoting adoption which will be reflected in low numbers of children being adopted and being placed for adoption. For most children the best place to grow up is with their birth parents. Where this is not possible, society has a clear responsibility to provide children with stability and permanence in their lives. The Government believes that more can and should be done to promote the

If, for example, vacancy levels are high, the reasons for this and the area’s strategy to address it need to be explored. High vacancy levels may indicate significant or wider problems that can impact adversely on services (see 2016SC, 2020SC, 2022SC, 2024SC, 2028SC, 2034SC, 2036SC, 2043SC, 2060SC, 2064SC, 3085SC, 4016SC).

p.266
Data Definition:
This indicator shows the number of advertised vacancies in maintained nursery, primary, secondary and special schools for full-time permanent appointments (or appointments of at least one term's duration) as a percentage of teachers in post ie full-time regular teachers in (or on secondment from) maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools, plus full-time regular divided service, peripatetic, advisory and miscellaneous teachers. Vacancies being filled on a temporary basis of less than one term are counted as vacant posts. The Statistical Neighbours figure is a median average of the percentage figures for each of the local authorities' neighbours. [Source: DCSF annual 618G survey (http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/management/ims/datacollections/618G/LA_618G_documentation/) Statistical Neighbours comparisons calculated by Ofsted.]
p.266
Data Definition:
Health warning : There is no benchmark figure. A lower percentage is better than a higher percentage with positive impact on capacity. The number of years for which the data has been collected is small and therefore trends cannot yet be clearly determined. Analysis is based on small numbers of vacancies. For this reason data does not have traffic lights. Please use with caution when comparing local authorities with Statistical Neighbours or the National figures. SN figures have been added by Ofsted to assist inspectors. They are median averages of the %s for all of the LA's Statistical Neighbours.

Statistical neighbour models provide one method for benchmarking progress. For each LA, these models designate a number of other LAs deemed to have similar characteristics. These designated LAs are known as statistical neighbours. Any LA may compare its performance (as measured by various indicators) against its statistical neighbours to provide an initial guide as to whether their performance is above or below the level that might be expected. Statistical neighbour comparisons are usually presented in addition to a National comparison.
