Please could you provide the number of children assessed by children’s services between 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2017 by Social Services?
Of those that were assessed in that time how many had a primary need for support due to abuse or neglect? Of the children that were abused or neglected can you confirm what type of abuse was perpetrated e.g. neglect, physical, psychological, sexual etc. broken down by volume.
And could the volume of abuse also be broken down by perpetrator where perpetrator was a:
- mother acting alone
- mother supporting a third party e.g. step parent
- mother and father acting together
- father acting alone
- father supporting a third party e.g. step parent
