Your request
This is a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding resident-to-resident harm in residential care settings. (FYO: resident-to-resident refers to any harm/abuse inflicted on one resident by another resident).
Please can you provide relevant data for the following:
1) The total number of adult safeguarding concerns/complaints your council received regarding resident-to-resident harm/abuse in residential care settings between 2018-2021 (please provide a breakdown per year).
Of these concerns/complaints, please provide:
- The total number escalated to section 42 enquires
- A brief description of the nature of the concern/complaint (i.e sexual abuse)
- The outcome of the concern/complaint raised (i.e whether the perpetrator was removed).
Please could you provide the information in an electronic format, more specifically, datasets in Excel format.
Our response
We do not capture data in this way and so have provided safeguarding data for concerns raised for any resident within a residential care setting.
