Michael Tucker: Thanks. Very difficult to get a true handle on such stats as you say.
" It shows that 2,290 children in England – 9% fewer than in the previous year – were placed on child protection plans under the category of sexual abuse in 2022/23. This is the lowest number in 14 years, and the second lowest in the 29 years this data has been published; it equates to fewer than one in 20 of children whose initial assessments recorded child sexual abuse or exploitation concerns. The 9% decline occurred against the backdrop of a minor 1% decrease in the overall number of children placed on child protection plans. . . " 2022/23." p. 6. Presumably - one real possibility of this drop is not a true fall, but a severe under-detection rate with massive cuts in the social care agencies. Do you not think?
