This college is in Lancashire, not the authority the group is registered in, so its partnership, its referral route and the children's services figures below are Lancashire's.
Harm outside the home across Lancashire
Across Lancashire, children's social care recorded child sexual exploitation, gangs, going missing, trafficking and sexual abuse by another child in a higher share of assessments than across England.
This describes what social workers record for children across the whole authority, never this college or its students.
