Conclusion
As part of the proposed register of children not in school, the Department must set out how it will collect and publish data on how many looked-after children are falling through the gaps by missing education or being ‘educated’ in unregulated education provision. This data should form part of a regular statistical release, published at minimum, annually.

Accept in principle. The department recognises the need for more detailed data in terms of looked-after children who are missing education. This will be considered as part of our wider work to develop an implementation strategy to the care review.
