We have approximately two-thirds male to one-third female.
Looking back at last year's statistics this ratio has seemed to
remain throughout. Again, the reason being is that women are afraid
to present themselves for fear of losing their children into care.
Steps have been taken to overcome this fear. ADAS have set up a Women
and Child Outreach project and with funding from the National Lottery
an Outreach Counsellor goes out to Churches, Community Centres etc to
help these women on a one to one basis. |
