Cafcass Care Demand Statistics
These statistics cover care proceedings applications made by local authorities where Cafcass has been appointed by the court to represent the interests of children. Please note that these statistics indicate the number of care applications made only: they do not show the number of children taken into care.
Cafcass care demand statistics are published on a monthly basis on the sixth working day of each month, following month end.

Note: Figures are provided from our current national case management system (CMS). The unit of measurement is a case and is counted upon receipt of the application from the Court and entry into our CMS. A case can involve multiple children and multiple application types. The CMS is a live system and any late entries will be accounted for upon the release of subsequent updates to this data.
