Council Bradford
Performance The percentage of looked-after children under 16 who were living in the same placement for two years or placed for adoption.
Earlier this month, Bradford council launched its looked-after children strategy for 2010/12.
The strategy sets out how the authority will work with its partners to build on services for the 900 children and young people it looks after, whether they are in residential homes, foster care, adopted, asylum seekers or have disabilities.
The council has been making improvements in placement stability. In 2005, 62.3 per cent of its looked-after children had been in placements lasting for two or more years. Figures from the year ending 31 March 2009 show this is now 72.4 per cent.
