Dear Gary

Many thanks for the reply and apologies for the lack of clarity.

The information I require is of the number of reports made to police of sexual violence or sexual harassment carried out by a child, or group of children, on another child. In this case, a child of primary school age on school premises.

I hope this makes things clearer.

Yours faithfully,

Louisa JAMES
