SUMMARY
Academics from the universities of Coventry, Sheffield, Huddersfield, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Stirling and Queen's University Belfast received Nuffield Foundation funding to study inequalities in the proportions of looked-after children, or those subject to child protection plans, in the four UK nations.
The project involved 24,000 looked-after children and 12,000 subject to child protection plans, representing 10 per cent of all such children across the UK in March 2015, when the study began. The children were living in 55 different local authority or health and social care trust areas.
