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).

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:
a) The total number escalated to section 42 enquires
b) A brief description of the nature of the concern/complaint (i.e sexual abuse)
c) The outcome of the concern/complaint raised (i.e whether the perpetrator was removed).
We do not report on this, in order to respond we would need to do a manual trawl of all concerns/complaints received in the period, which would take us beyond the time limit for response. (Section 12)
