Recommendation
The Department must make it a priority to collect and publish national data on how often school places are not being provided within the statutory 20 school days timeframe for looked-after children under an emergency care order. The lack of data means there is currently no visibility into the scale of the issue.
Government Response Summary
The government recognizes the need for more detailed data on looked-after children who are missing education and states that this will be considered as part of their wider work to develop an implementation strategy to the care review.
