Why children enter care, and where they are placed, can vary widely by sex and ethnicity.
New analysis of a cohort of children in the four years following the 2011 Census explores the backgrounds of children who went into care, and reasons behind it.
Our analysis of almost 3.8 million children aged 10 to 17 years found nearly 30,000 of the cohort (0.8%) went into local authority care for the first time between 2011 and 2015.
Children who went into care were more likely to:
▪️ have poorer health
▪️ live in deprivation
▪️ live in lone parent families or large households.
Black and Mixed ethnicity children accounted for a higher percentage of children entering care than those who did not.
