Notes:

1. The definitions used for each indicator are identified in the relevant tables under Our performance.
(a) Figures are point in time, as at final day of reference period.
(b) From 31 August 2009, enhancements to the Integrated Client Management System (ICMS) took place, including an audit and cleansing of carer records. This included closing down those records where a carer was no longer caring for a child, or the approval was no longer valid. As a result, carer families data reported for 30 September 2009 and onwards are not comparable to previous years.
