Ms Kate Duggan:

It was almost 50%. Nine of those children experienced a breakdown in their residential care that week; 12 experienced a breakdown in their foster care; and 28 experienced a breakdown in their home arrangement. For a child or young person to go from a home arrangement straight into an SEA, they have to be either part of a sibling group, or they are one of the number of young people we have who are, unfortunately, engaged in significant criminal activity even though they are under 18.

We have a concern about criminal exploitation and drug use.
