Performance Percentage of looked-after children with three or more placements during the year
Since the year ending 31 March 2006, the percentage of looked-after children in Walsall experiencing multiple moves has decreased. A higher-than-average percentage experienced more than three moves in 2006 — 14 per cent. But by the end of March 2009, this stood at 8.9 per cent.
