I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information in relation to the victims of forced criminality known as ‘criminal exploitation’.
For the six month period January to June 2023 please provide the following information:
The number of NRM referrals made by your local authority as First Responder relating to reported ‘criminal exploitation’ broken down by age, gender and nationality of the potential victim.
The number of NRM referrals made by your local authority flagged as ‘county lines’
For the NRM referrals for criminal exploitation for children under 18 years old how many were (i) in mainstream school, (ii) in alternative provision at the time of referral
For the NRM referrals for criminal exploitation for children under 18 years old how many had been (i) persistently absent from school or (ii) severely absent from school in the 12 months prior to referral.
For the NRM referrals for criminal exploitation for children under 18 years old how many were (i) a ‘looked after’ child or (ii) a child in need prior to referral.
For the NRM referrals for criminal exploitation for adults aged 18 years and above, how many have (i) had their care and support needs assessed and (ii) been provided with support under a support plan under the Care Act 2014.
If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, please provide advice and assistance, under the Section 16 obligations of the Act, as to how I can refine my request.
Yours sincerely
Louise Gleich
