Change in the annual rate and total number of additional children nationally entering care, associated with the child poverty rate 2015–20

	Annual change in the rate per 100 000 children for a 1 percentage point increase in child poverty, controlling for employment rates (95% CI)	Estimated additional number of children associated with rising child poverty rates, 2015–20, employment trends unaltered (95% CI)
Children starting to be looked after	5·2 (2·2–8·3)	10 351 (6447–14 567)
Children made subject to a child protection plan	19·3 (12·4–26·3)	22 945 (15 103–31 361)
Children beginning an episode of need	52·2 (13·6–90·8)	51 736 (15 352–89 021)

For full model output see the appendix (p 10). Column 2 shows the summary of regression coefficients for the within-area change in primary and secondary outcomes associated with the percentage point change in the child poverty rate, controlling for employment rates. Column 3 shows the estimated change in the total number of children experiencing each outcome associated with the rise in child poverty over the entire 2015–20 period, employment trends unaltered.
