Dear Allerdale Borough Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information requests.
I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I would be interested in any information held by your organisation regarding my request on parents of children subject to child protection plans under the category of child sexual abuse. The child protection plan will need to have ceased. I am specifically seeking information on parents who are non- white English (This will include Scottish, Irish and Welsh heritage)
I would like to request the following information, covering the last three years (from 1st April 2017- 31st March 2020):
1. HOW MANY CHILD/REN WHO ARE NOT WHITE/UK WERE CONFERENCED REGARDING BEING SUBJECT TO A CHILD PROTECTION PLAN UNDER THE CATEGORY OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE? (INCLUDE SCOTTISH, WELSH AND IRISH CHILDREN living in the UK)
2. WAS THE CHILD/REN MADE SUBJECT TO A CHILD PROTECTION PLAN?
3. WAS IT A MAJORITY DECISION?
4. DID THE CONFERENCE CHAIR OVERRULE THE DECISION FOR OR AGAINST THE MAKING OF A PLAN?
5. DID THE PARENTS HAVE A CHANCE TO EVALUATE THE CONFERENCE BY WAY OF FEEDBACK?
6. OF THE CASES THAT WERE MADE SUBJECT TO A CHILD PROTECTION PLAN UNDER THE CATEGORY OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE, HOW MANY PROGRESSED SIGNIFICANTLY WHEREBY THE CHILD/REN CEASED TO BE SUBJECT TO A PLAN DUE TO POSITIVE PARENTAL INPUT?

Please provide the above information in the form of electronic files. If it is not possible to provide the information required due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in section 12, please help under section 16, obligation of the Act, as to how I can refine my request.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to receiving the above information.

Yours faithfully,

Vida Douglas
