Collection of this data allows local authorities to measure instances of suspected abuse, neglect or harm, where the local authority has reasonable cause to suspect the child is at risk.

Data collection and calculation

While extensive efforts have been made to gather reliable and accurate information from local authorities, data remains imperfect.
