Over 12,000 children were looked after by local authorities on March 31, 2005, an increase of four per cent from 2004. An additional 2,003 were looked after on a series of short term respite placements. On March 31, 2005, the majority of children were looked after at home with their parents or with family or friends (57 per cent). Approximately 29 per cent were looked after with foster carers or prospective adopters, and 13 per cent in residential accommodation. Of 16 and 17 year old care leavers in 2004-05, approximately 45 per cent achieved at least one qualification at SCQF level 3 or above, three percentage points more than in 2003-04. Thirty per cent of care leavers achieved maths and English at SCQF level 3 or above, two percentage points more than in 2003-04. Forty one per cent of people receiving aftercare support whose economic status was known were in employment, education or training. This is five percentage points higher than the previous year. There were 1,015 care leavers entitled to aftercare with unknown economic status (45 per cent). Five secure units provided a total of 93 secure places during 2004-05: three places fewer than the previous year. There was an average of 87 residents in secure accommodation throughout 2004-05. Almost half of all children (49 per cent) admitted to secure accommodation during the year were 15 years old. Forty per cent of all young people leaving secure accommodation in 2004-05 returned to the same type of placement as they were in before being admitted to secure. In most cases, children were living with parents/friends/relatives prior to admission and returned to them on discharge. In 2004-05, the numbers of child protection case conferences, registrations, de-registrations and the number of children on the child protection register have decreased since 2003-04. However, the number of child protection referrals has increased substantially. The number of child protection registrations due to physical neglect has been rising steadily since 2000-01. Registrations due to physical injury or sexual abuse have remained fairly constant since 1999-2000.

The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2006 identifies small area concentrations of multiple deprivation across all of Scotland in a consistent way. It is an update and improvement on the SIMD 2004, allowing more effective targeting of policies and funding at deprived areas. The main points of the SIMD 2006 are outlined along with guidance on analysing change between SIMD 2004 and SIMD 2006, dissemination of the SIMD and appropriate and inappropriate use of the SIMD.

This report provides an initial analysis of the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) 2006 and each of its domains. Each domain represents a different subject area (current income, employment, health, education, geographic access to services, housing, and crime) and consists of a number of indicators which are chosen to efficiently capture deprivation for that domain area. The report also contains a preliminary analysis of relative change in deprived areas between the SIMD 2004 and SIMD 2006.
