(p) Post looked after arrangements [used for funding]

This data item (100587) identifies those children on roll on census day who were looked after immediately before adoption or prior to being subject of a residence or special guardianship order. Those who have parental responsibility (adoptive parents, special guardians and carers) choose if they wish schools to know whether children have been adopted, or are under a special guardianship order, residence order or a child arrangement order. Schools will be able to record the information using the following codeset; only one of the values will apply to each pupil:

Not declared
Ceased to be looked after through adoption
Ceased to be looked after through a special guardianship order (SGO) R Ceased to be looked after through a residence order (RO)
Ceased to be looked after through a child arrangement order (CAO)
