For the last three financial years, how many children/young people (if any) have been placed in unregistered care settings, and what was the cost for each of those years?

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.
2022/23- 0 CYP placed in unregistered care settings
2023/24- 1 CYP placed in an unregistered care setting- cost £10,185
2024/25- 2 CYP placed in unregistered care settings- cost (estimated to the year-end) £992,133
The reason for the massive difference is the young person was only in placement for the last 3 days of the financial year 23/24 and then was resident for the full year 24/25 plus the extra young person’s costs.
