- rates of special educational needs and free school meals
- types of school attended

This release illustrates some of the proposed changes to the annual Outcomes for children looked after by local authorities National Statistics release and outcomes within the Characteristics of children in need (CIN) National Statistics.
Improving these statistics was a commitment made at the end of the Children in need review. The proposed changes aim to improve the consistency of definitions and the range of children reported on. For example, the annual statistics do not currently report outcomes on the whole CIN cohort and only report on children looked after for at least twelve months at 31 March, whereas this release includes the outcomes of all CIN, including breakdowns for those on child protection plans and those looked after for less than 12 months at 31 March.
We are asking users for their feedback on these proposals. Further details are available at Children in need and looked after children statistics: proposed changes.
