Part 3: Reports of distinct children
This section presents data on the number of distinct children involved in reports over the decade. It enables an estimation of the breadth of the child protection net, both overall, and by abuse type and reporter type. Table 3.1 shows the total number of reports made regarding distinct individual children over the decade. For example, 10,290 children were subject to only one report over the decade, representing 48% of children in all reports; 3,622 children were each the subject of two reports; 1,831 children were the subject of three reports, and so on. In total, over the decade, 75,382 reports were made, involving 21,349 distinct children.
Table 3.3 outlines yearly differences between the numbers of notifications compared to the number of children in the reports, for the decade. Subsequent tables provide detailed annual breakdowns. Tables 3.8 to 3.12 compare the yearly number of notifications to the number of children in the reports, by abuse type and outcome of report. Tables 3.13 to 3.32 show year-by-year analyses of children subject to a notification compared with the total number of reports by abuse type, outcome of report, and reporter group.
