to be looked after under a care order, police protection, emergency protection order
or child assessment order. Only the first occasion on which a child was taken into
care in the year has been counted, but a child may appear more than once if they started
to be looked after in one year, left care and then returned to care in a subsequent
year.</p><p><a title="" href="http://3dcpri-papp09/new_parliamentaryquestion/210137-%20Charlotte%20Leslie/Draft/210137%20PQ%20Team%20QA%2015.10.14%20FINAL.docx#_ftnref2"

point in time and it is possible the child could have returned to care since ceasing
to be looked after. This includes children who, prior to ceasing care, were placed
with parents at some point during their period of care.</p><p><a title="" href="http://3dcpri-papp09/new_parliamentaryquestion/210137-%20Charlotte%20Leslie/Draft/210137%20PQ%20Team%20QA%2015.10.14%20FINAL.docx#_ftnref4"

period of care, however, the child may have changed placements subsequently. This
excludes children who ceased to be looked after to return home to live with parents
