This publication includes information on:

• children in need of social services
• children referred to social services
• assessments undertaken and primary need identified at assessment
• section 47 enquiries and initial child protection conferences
• children who were the subject of a child protection plan

All 27 tables from the publication are contained in the 鈥楴ational and local authority tables: SFR43/2014鈥� excel document.

We published additional tables showing figures as a result of matching the children in need census to the national pupil database (NPD) on 26 February 2015.

These tables show children in need by:

• prevalence of free school meals (FSM)
• special educational needs (SEN)
• attainment
• absence and exclusions.

Further details of the matching process and calculations included in these tables can be found in the 鈥榤ethodology document 2: SFR43/2014鈥� file.
