"I have been digging on the net. Using the what do they know web site I have come
up with these stats.
Out of 140 requests for abuse stats for EHE kids to a mixture of district
councils, bourough councils and county councils
26 either hadn't responded or declined to answer.
81 had 0 children He'd and abused
14 had 1 child on register although 7 still only suspicion
17 had 2+ children 39 children altogether of which 8 not yet confirmed and 5
children due to educational provision(all from same council).
2 councils wouldn't give accurate figures and said less than 5 and less than 3
but wouldn't say if that included 0.
Obviously this data could have duplicates in because data is from all types of
council so the number of children may be less than these figures. There were 0
serious case reviews.
The national average for abuse is approximately 24/10,000 confirmed cases
according to govt stats for 2006. I couldn't find any more recent data.
This would indicate that we are cirtainly not more likely to abuse our kids and
possibly a little less likely using the government stats of 20,000 population
and 38 confirmed abuse cases.
Hope some of you may find this useful when contacting mp's etc."
