I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please provide the following information for the last five financial years (2020-2025), broken down by year:

1. The number of LADO referrals, concerns and allegations relating to nursery settings

2. Of these, how many allegations were recorded as substantiated

3. How many of the referrals/allegations resulted in any action recorded by the LADO (e.g., internal disciplinary action, referral to Ofsted or DBS, or police involvement).

I am requesting numerical totals only, and I am not seeking any personal data.

This is a duplicate request, please see WBCIR:21457
