	The &lt;a href="http://media.education.gov.uk/assets/files/xls/c/children%20in%20care%20and%20adoption%20performance%20tables.xls" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Children in Care and Adoption Performance Tables&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(updated 11 May 2012) show, against 15 key indicators, how each local authority is performing. The data we have used is already available. We want the tables to help generate debate, discussion and, above, all action. We&amp;rsquo;ll be updating the tables as new data becomes available.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
	A table is provided for each of the indicators mainly based on a three year rolling average (2008-09 to 2010-11). The only exception is the indicator on schools performing below the floor target for which only two years data are available.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
	Data used to monitor the three key indicators within the adoption scorecard (published 11 May 2012) have also been included for information and comparison purposes.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
	Percentages have been rounded to whole numbers but where the numerator was five or less or the denominator was 10 or less, they have been suppressed and replaced by a cross (x).&amp;nbsp;It has been necessary to suppress other figures whenever it would be possible to calculate the value of a suppressed number by means of simple arithmetic with data from other publications.&amp;nbsp;Percentages have been derived from unrounded numerator and denominator figures.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
	The key sources of additional contextual data on looked after children are:&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

&lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
	A number of indicators will be updated in late 2012 with data for 2011-12 when these become available.&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
