If a child is considered to be suffering, or likely to suffer, significant harm the local authority will make them the subject of a child protection plan.

NSPCC Learning has updated its factsheet on children who are the subject of a child protection plan. 

Each factsheet sets out:

• the number of children who are the subject of a child protection plan or on a child protection register
• the reasons children are the subject of a plan or on a register
• the age and gender of children who are the subject of a plan or on a register.
