Response

In accordance with section 1(1) (b) of the Act our response is provided below;

Question 1: 26

Question 2: 18

Question 3: 2

Question 4: We don't as a matter of routine record this statistic. An important part of the scheme in Cheshire is the early contact with Children's Services who are involved at the outset of all such cases which tends to negate the need for a formal referral.
