Performance The percentage of looked-after children with three or more placements during the year. Years ending 31 March

Since 2006, the percentage of looked-after children with three or more placements in the year has dropped from 15.4 per cent to 11.5 per cent.
Coventry City Council is hoping to continue the downward trend with the help of a recent fostering campaign that led to more than 40 enquiries.
