PREFACE
The data presented in this annex have been gathered from published sources and from relevant Government Departments in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The structure and content of the annex closely follows the guidance set out in the UNCRC guidelines on the inclusion of statistical information and data and we have endeavoured to provide all relevant information, where this is available.
Where national statistics are collected and published at a United Kingdom (UK) level, for example population data from the Office for National Statistics, then these are presented in this annex for the UK as a whole and for its constituent countries - England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some statistics are provided here for Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland), such as income and benefits data from the Department for Work and Pensions. Many of the data tables in the annex however are presented separately for the constituent countries of the UK as each country collects its own data, for example education, childcare, health, juvenile justice. These are not always directly comparable, as the data are not collected at the same time and often use slightly different definitions.
Some countries do not collect or publish data on all of the issues covered in the annex, so for some issues, data are not available for every country of the UK. In other instances some countries have not been able to provide relevant data because their underlying sample sizes are too small.
The tables in this annex were compiled between June and September 2013 and present the latest available data at that time.

A. Key points from the data annex
There has been a steady increase in the size of the UK child population over the last five years, with around 400,000 more 0-18 year olds in 2012 compared to 2008.
The number of deaths as a result of traffic accidents in England & Wales has dropped by around 40 per cent, from 690 in 2007 to 402 in 2011.
There has been a small but steady drop in the number of school councils in Wales, from 1,640 in 2008-09 to 1,573 in 2012-13.
The number of teenage mothers in England & Wales has decreased by over 20 per cent between 2007 and 2011, from 25,914 to 20,215.
The number of public libraries available to children in the UK has decreased from 4,698 in 2007/08 to 4,384 in 2011/12
70 per cent of children aged 7-16 in Great Britain have access to the internet in their own room and spend on average 1.9 hours a day per day online.
The number of registered childcare services has remained broadly constant, with 10,250 providers in Scotland in 2008 and 10,159 in 2011.
The population of children looked after by local authorities in England has increased steadily from 60,900 in 2009 to 68,110 in 2013; in Wales the numbers have shown a similar trend, from 4,088 in 2008 to 5,179 in 2012; the increase in Northern Ireland has been less pronounced, from 2,463 in 2009 to 2,644 in 2012; likewise, in Scotland the numbers have increased from 15,287 in 2008/09 to 16,248 in 2011/12. (The Wales figures exclude children placed with their parents).
There has been a steady increase in the number of children adopted, from 3,180 in 2008 to 3,450 in 2012 in England; from 441 in 2007 to 496 in 2011 in Scotland; and from 50 in 2010 to 98 in 2013 in Northern Ireland.
Infant mortality rates remain low and falling across the UK.
The per cent of low birth rates is higher in England and Wales (7.1% less than 2,500 grams in 2011) than Scotland (5.0%) and Northern Ireland (6.06%).
A majority of children in the UK have completed primary immunisation sources against DTaP/IPV/Hib (95.1%), MenC (94.3%) and PCV (94.8%) by their first birthday.
Around four fifths of mothers initially breast feed in the UK (81% in 2101); rates tend to be lower among young mothers, the White ethnic group, and those from lower socio-economic classes.
There are around 178,000 young carers in England and Wales.
16
The use of drugs and alcohol is falling among young people aged 11-15 in England, from 15% using drugs in the last year in 2008 to 12% in 2012 and from 18% drinking alcohol in the last week in 2008 to 10% in 2012.
Around 85 per cent of 11 year olds in England achieve the expected level of English attainment, up four percentage points since 2008; three in five (59.4%) achieve five or more GCSES A*-C including English and Maths, up from 49.8% in 2008-09. Pupils who receive Free School Meals do markedly less well; pupils who have a first language other than English also do less well, but the gap is small.
The pupil: teacher ratio is low in Scotland (13.4 in 2012) compared to England (20.9 qualified teachers in 2012) and (17.5 in Northern Ireland 2012/13).
Around one in twenty (4.9%) 16 and 17 year olds in the UK were not in education, employment or training (NEET) in April to June 2013; this has dropped from 6.2% a year ago.
The number of applications to the UK received from Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children has fallen from 4,285 in 2008 to 1,168 in 2012.
The number of young people coming into contact with the criminal justice system for the first time in England and Wales has fallen by over 60% between 2008 and 2012, to 36,677; the number of under 18s convicted of an offence in Northern Ireland has fallen from 1,455 in 2005 to 1205 in 2009; likewise, the number of under 18s convicted in Scottish Courts has fallen from 7,924 in 2007-08 to 3,390 in 2011-12.

1Providers are the number of providers registered on the database at the end of the relevant period. As not all providers inform Ofsted that they have ceased provision, this number is likely to be higher than the actual number of providers.
2Registered places are the number of children that may attend the provision at any one time. Registered places are not the number of places occupied, nor the number of children who may benefit from receiving places through providers offering sessions at different times of the day. Place numbers are only collected for providers on the Early Years Register. For these providers, the numbers show the total places available for children under eight. As of 1 September providers can only care for children in accordance with the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Ofsted no longer set additional conditions at registration ad will only update data on available places at inspection. Averages are used for a very small number of providers whose place numbers are not available at the time of the analysis. There are very small discrepancies in totals due to rounding.

Note: Counts of the number of active childminding and day care services are also published by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) in their Scottish Social Services Sector: Report on 2011 Workforce Data (Official Statistics). The counts may vary slightly due to differences in the way the Care Inspectorate and SSSC classify an active service. The 'main service type' is based on information supplied by day care of children services in their annual returns. If a service did not respond to an annual return in a given year then their main type of service has been estimated by using annual return information submitted in another year or from other information about the service for example their conditions of registration.
Some services provide a mixture of types of day care. For example a service where the main provision is an out of school club may also in addition provide a holiday play scheme.Other services' includes services that cannot easily be assigned to one of the categories.

Note: Children are counted once for each centre and/or childminder they attend.All figures are rounded to the nearest 10 to express the uncertainty inherent in these estimates. For this reason, totals may not exactly equal the sum of their parts. Please note – it is not appropriate to compare the number of children attending day care services disaggregated by the main type of day care over time because variation in the way service providers record information from one year to the next can lead to large misleading fluctuations in the number of children attending services. Also, year to year fluctuations in both the population and the number of services will affect the numbers attending/registered from one year to the next.

1 Figures include estimates for missing data and are rounded to the nearest 100.
2 Figures have been calculated by DfE based upon all information provided in the CIN return. Children in need are those who have been referred to children's social care services, and who have been assessed, usually through an initial assessment, to be in need of social care services. A child can have more than one episode of need throughout the year but episodes should not overlap. If a child has more than one episode, then each is counted in the figures.

Percentages have been rounded to the nearest whole number.2 Figures exclude children looked after under an agreed series of short term placements.3 Historical data may differ from older publications. This is mainly due to the implementation of amendments and corrections sent by some local authorities after the publication date of previous materials.4 The rates per 10,000 children under 18 years have been derived using the mid-year population estimates for 2012 provided by the Office for National Statistics.

There is known to be an issue with the quality of data on children recorded as being missing from their agreed placement for a period of 24 hours or more. Comparisons with other data sources, including numbers of missing children reported to the police, indicate that the figures presented may be an undercount of the true figure and should be treated with caution. Work is currently being undertaken to look at improving the quality of the data returned by local authorities in this area in future.

When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more offences it is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed. Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences, the offence selected is the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most severe.
2 Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used.
3 The figures for 'Trafficking of people' relate to multiple offences including - Trafficking into the UK for sexual exploitation, Trafficking within the UK for sexual exploitation, Trafficking out of the UK for sexual exploitation, Trafficking people into the UK for the purpose of exploitation, Trafficking people within the UK for the purpose of exploitation, Trafficking people out of the UK.4 The figures for 'Abduction of Children' relate to multiple offences including: - Abduction of child by parent, - Abduction of child by other persons, - Taking, keeping, inducing, assisting or inciting a child away from the person having responsibility forcare under a care order, emergency protection order or police protection- Obstructing an authorised person recovering a child5 The number of offenders sentenced can differ from those found guilty as it may be the case that adefendant found guilty in a particular year, and committed for sentence at the Crown Court, may be

sentenced in the following year.

Ministry of Justice (MoJ) figures show that at the end 30 June 2006 there were 75,542 prisoners aged 18 and over in prison establishments. This includes prisoners serving sentences of more than four years and on remand. Data from the 2005/06 Surveying Prisoner Crime Reduction Study (SPCR) published in March 2012 show that prisoners aged 18 and over have an average of 1.14 children. This results in a total estimate of approximately 86,000 children with a parent imprisoned in 2006 (These estimates assume that long-term and remand prisoners had the same average number of children as prisoners sentenced up to four years).
Based on the number of unique persons estimated to have been in prison in 2009, and the average number of children reported by prisoners in the SPCR sample (1.14 children), it is estimated that approximately 200,000 children had a parent in prison at some point in 2009. In terms of the number of children with a parent in prison at a single point in time, approximately 90,000 children had a parent in prison at the end of June 2009.

1 The within-school PTR (Qualified) is calculated by dividing the total FTE number of pupils on roll in schools by the total FTE number of qualified teachers regularly employed in schools. The within-school PTR (Qualified and unqualified) is calculated by dividing the total FTE number of pupils on roll in schools by the total FTE number of qualified and unqualified teachers regularly employed in schools.
2 For statistical purposes only, pupils who do not attend both morning and afternoon at least five days a week are regarded as part-time. Each part-time pupil is treated as 0.5 FTE.
3 The PAR is calculated by dividing the total FTE number of pupils on roll in schools by the total FTE number of all teachers and support staff employed in schools, excluding administrative and clerical staff.
4 The overall PTR is based on the total FTE number of pupils on roll in local authority maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools and the FTE of all teachers in these schools (including: centrally employed; occasional teachers; those on employment based routes to QTS; others without QTS, those on paid absence and any replacements). The teacher numbers are from the 618g survey.
5 Includes academies from 2011.
6 November 2012 figures are calculated using the most current figures e.g. January 2013 pupil numbers and November 2012 teacher numbers.

Significant changes that have occurred over the above reporting period:
Date of collection moved from January to September in 2010.
Children become eligible for pre-school education the term after their third birthday, with the pre-school intakes being divided into cohorts of a year (each including those with birthdays between 1 March and end February). As the three pre-school terms start in September, January and April, data collected at January will count pre-schools at a point where they have three-year olds with birthdays from the previous March to the start of January (so ten of a potential twelve months) in attendance. When data is collected in September, only children with birthdays from March to start September (six months) would be eligible to attend. The uptake rate for three year-olds (ante-pre-school) has been estimated for all collections from 2009 to 2012, but the data from September 2010 will be slightly less robust.

Is leave granted to a person who is not a refugee under the Refugee Convention but who would, if removed, face in the country of return a real risk to life or person arising from the death penalty; unlawful killing; torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment; or serious and individual threat by
174
reason of indiscriminate violence in situations of international or internal armed conflict. If a person has been refused asylum they may still be considered for this status. Humanitarian protection is normally granted for a period of five years, after which the person can apply for indefinite leave to remain. A person who is granted humanitarian protection is allowed to work and has access to public funds.2 May be considered for an individual who is not accepted as being in need of international protection (i.e. asylum or humanitarian protection (HP)) but who is able to demonstrate particularly compelling reasons why removal would not be appropriate. Discretionary Leave is normally granted for a period of three years. Further leave may be granted, subject to a review of the individual’s circumstances.3 Discretionary leave may also be granted if, for example, the applicant is an Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Child (UASC) who is not considered to be in need of international protection but who cannot be removed because adequate reception arrangements in their country are not available. For UASCs, DL can be granted for three years or up until they are aged 17½, whichever comes first.4 Family Life (10 year route): Partners and parents who apply in the UK and are granted leave to remain on a 10 year route to settlement on the basis of their family life where the provisions in Appendix FM including EX.1. in the Immigration Rules apply.5 Leave to remain (LTR) is permission to stay in the UK either temporarily (limited leave to remain) or permanently (indefinite leave to remain). Persons who are granted leave to remain in the UK because they have established a private life in the UK. In order to be eligible to apply for leave to remain on the basis of private life in the UK, the applicant must:• Have at least 20 years‟ continuous residence in the UK (lawful or unlawful); or• Be under the age of 18 and have continuously resided in the UK for at least seven years and it would not be reasonable to expect them to leave the UK; or• Be aged 18 or over but under 25, and have spent at least half their life continuously residing in the UK; or• Be aged 18 or over, have continuously resided in the UK for less than 20 years, but have no ties (including social, cultural or family) with their country of origin.6 Third Country, or safe third country, is a country of which the applicant is not a national or citizen and in which a person’s life or liberty is not threatened by reason of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion. It is also one from which a person would not be sent to another State in contravention of his rights under the 1951 Convention. Most Third Country cases are those which come under the arrangements provided by the Dublin Convention or the Dublin II Regulation (the “Dublin arrangements”). Asylum claims may be refused without substantive consideration of the application if the applicant can be returned to a safe third country.7 Non-compliance grounds signify a failure to cooperate with the process to examine and decide the asylum claim within a reasonable period. This includes refusals for failure to respond to invitations to interview to establish identity.

1When an asylum applicant’s claim to be a child is doubted and they have little or no evidence to support their claimed age, the UK Border Agency will conduct an initial age assessment. Applicants whose physical appearance/demeanour very strongly suggests that they are significantly over 18 years of age will be treated as adults until there is credible documentary or other persuasive evidence to demonstrate the age claimed. All other applicants will be afforded the benefit of doubt and treated as children until an assessment of their age has been completed.

* The figures for 'Abduction of Children' relate to multiple offences including:- Abduction of child by parent,- Abduction of child by other persons,- Taking, keeping, inducing, assisting or inciting a child away from the person having responsibility for care under a care order, emergency protection order or police protection- Obstructing an authorised person recovering a child
** The figures for 'Trafficking of people' relate to multiple offences including - Trafficking into the UK for sexual exploitation, Trafficking within the UK for sexual exploitation, Trafficking out of the UK for sexual exploitation, Trafficking people into the UK for the purpose of exploitation, Trafficking people within the UK for the purpose of exploitation, Trafficking people out of the UK.
1The figures given in the table relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with. When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more offences it is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed. Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences, the offence selected is the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most severe.2 Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used.3The number of offenders sentenced can differ from those found guilty as it may be the case that a defendant found guilty in a particular year, and committed for sentence at the Crown Court, may be sentenced in the following year.4Excludes data for Cardiff magistrates' court for April, July and August 2008.

Significant changes that have occurred over the above reporting period: The summary (i.e. non-jury) criminal justice system in Scotland has undergone an extensive and far-reaching programme of reform since 2007. The principal aim of the reforms is that fewer cases go to court needlessly and more are dealt with by non-court actions, where it is more appropriate to do so. There has also been a nationwide reduction in crime levels.

Significant changes that have occurred over the above reporting period: From 2005 to 2006, data came from the PSNI’s Integrated Crime Information System (ICIS). From 2007 to 2009 data came reported here are based on data from the Criminal Records Viewer (CRV). As data for 2005/06 are not from the same source as 2007-09 they should not be directly compared.
Note: Data is provided on offenders aged 10 to 17 convicted in court and is based on the principal offence rule: Only the most serious offence for which an offender is convicted is included.
The average number of months is based on where the custodial sentence value was known. In 2009 one person received a life sentence, and datasets do not specify the tariff set.
