However, we are working, with support from local authorities, to better understand their responses to missing children and the effect of recent changes. All local authorities must now inform the Department for Education about all incidences of children going missing from care as part of their annual statistical return to the department on looked after children. This, along with more accurate figures on the number of children missing from care available in September 2015, will inform future policy on missing children.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 07/07/2015 16:27:58 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
