Following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established
that Brent Council does not hold the information you have requested. Adult
Social Care record the name of the person referring abuse and the type of
referrer against a set list. This list does not currently include any of
the types you have requested and therefore we do not hold the specific
data you have requested.
If you are dissatisfied with the way, in which your request has been
handled or the outcome, you may request an internal review within two
calendar months of the date of this response by writing to the following
address:

If you remain dissatisfied with the handling of your request or internal
review, you have a right to appeal directly to the Information
Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be
contacted at:
