More than 50% of children referred to children’s services in the 2010-11 financial year were re-referred by the end of 2014-15, a new study commissioned by the Department for Education has shown. The research report, authored by Manchester University’s Dr Patricio Troncoso, is based on a study of 498,867 children referred in 2010-11, within 145 local authorities. It goes on to conduct more detailed modelling based on a subset of 90,209 children within 144 local authorities.
