I require the following information;
The number of placements in the last 3 years by Bedford Placement Team of the below groups in Residential family centers or Parental assesment centers;

2. Parents (father or mother) with mental health issues
3. Parenting assessment order received from court

Dear Israel Lieberman
Request pursuant to Freedom of Information Act 2000 – Request No. 17484
Thank you for your recent enquiry for information held by the Council.
Unfortunately we are unable to process your request as we have
insufficient detail from you to identify the information you require.
Please can you provide clarification with regards to the following
questions:
4. Parenting concerns received from children's placements team due to
domestic issues – Our placements officers do not raise concerns, due you
mean ‘children’s services’? Can you please clarify if you want to know
the number of P&C placements where domestic abuse/violence has been
flagged as a concern?
5. Homeless parents - We are unsure what information you are looking for
as we don’t use P&C placements if there is a housing issue, and they
wouldn’t return home from a P&C placement if there is no home. Can you
please therefore clarify what information you are requesting?
When we have received your response, we will contact you again to provide
details of when you might expect to receive the information from us.
Any future correspondence you may have with the Council in relation to
this matter should be emailed to [1][Bedford Borough Council request email]
Yours sincerely
