Children receiving care and support

Following the commencement of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act in April 2016, the children in need census has been discontinued and replaced by the children receiving care and support census. The children receiving care and support census is based on the definition of eligible children who have care and support, i.e. children (under the age of 18) who have a care and support plan. The tables show the number and characteristics of children receiving care and support, which includes parental circumstances, health and educational outcomes.
