AHEd members have made FOI requests of all LAs in order to gather statistics to compare to the National figures for abuse of children which is approximately 1.3%.
1.3% is derived from using the governements figure of 11,000,000 children in England

and the analysis of children in need
http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/rsgateway/DB/VOL/v000647/vweb02-2006.pdf
which showed 142,459 children in need due to abuse or neglect.
The statistical results of those requests are tabled below.
