Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 7 November 2022 to Question 75936 on Children in Care: Siblings, how many siblings and half siblings were split up under local authority care in each of the last three years.
The department does not hold this information centrally. Local authorities provide information on looked after children through the SSDA903 annual return. However, this does not include information on the family background of looked after children, including whether they have siblings and/or half-siblings.
