Please note that these questions are non specific to the identities of the children- and therefore responses refusing to provide information on the grounds that it can be harmful to the service users in question- or pose a risk to their identity are not valid. These questions are all 'non specific' and should also be under the required hours it takes to be able to refuse the request on the grounds of time spent collating information. This information should all be accessible to the general public and should be very straight forward for the Children's Commissioning team to be able to collate.
