What children's services record across Kent

Factors inside the home: share of assessments, Kent against England, the widest gap above England first

Kent England

  • Physical abuse by an adult 12.7% against 12%
  • A parent or carer's learning disability 3.1% against 3%
  • A parent or carer's mental health 32.2% against 33.5%
  • Domestic abuse, a parent or carer as victim 29% against 31.7%
  • Drug misuse by a parent or carer 11% against 14.1%
  • Alcohol misuse by a parent or carer 10.5% against 14.3%
  • Emotional abuse 12.7% against 19%
  • Neglect 10.1% against 17.6%

This describes what social workers record for the whole authority, never this setting or its children, and a higher share can reflect better identification as easily as more harm.

What the report contains
