Dataset Details

Looked After Children Birthdays (LACB)

Published by SAIL

Description

Children who are 'looked after' by the State are considered one of the most vulnerable groups in society. Being in State care is associated with poor social, educational and health outcomes. Exploring how to improve the system and better support children in care is key to improving these outcomes. When children and young people come to the attention of children's social services a significant amount of information about their care experience is routinely collected by local authorities. In Wales, routine data are captured in the 'Children Looked After' Census which is submitted annually to the Welsh Government. The dataset LACB includes all care leavers who turned 19 years old between 1st April 2002 and 31st March 2016. There are no updates past march 2016.
