There were 25,900 children on child protection registers at 31 March 2005. 13 per cent of children registered during 20o4-05 had previously been registered, and 3,000 children on the register were being looked after by local authorities. 43 per cent of registrations related to children considered to be at risk of neglect; emotional abuse accounted for 19 per cent of registrations, followed by physical abuse (18 per cent) and sexual abuse (9 per cent). 99 per cent of all child protection cases which should have been reviewed during the year were reviewed.
