This report by Alma Economics for the Children's Commissioner's Office accompanies the recent report 'A Crying Shame' - A report by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner into vulnerable babies in England.

The report explains how existing data was used to identify groups of vulnerable babies in England and to obtain aggregate totals for each type of vulnerability. The focus is on babies under the age of one, although figures for children up to the age of four were recorded for context.

The report discusses these vulnerability types, explains the methodology used and analyses the sources and quality of the available data.
