Dear Mr Ghadimabadian

I refer to your recent enquiry relating to the above which has been dealt
with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Please find below the Council’s response:

1)      Number of Safeguarding alerts/concerns received from or in
connection with the above named home from all sources (the home itself,
family, hospital, etc)

2)      Number of Investigations conducted in response to safeguarding
alerts, complaints, allegations of abuse, etc.

3)      Outcome of the investigations conducted. (e.g. substantiated, not
substantiated, partially substantiated, etc.)

4)      Number of Deaths (for any reason, expected or otherwise) of any
person who used the care service

5)      Number of Incidents reported to or investigated by the police,
again not necessarily related to safeguarding concerns.

6)      Number of Pressure Ulcers of any grade reported by the provider or
external medical staff or family, etc.

7)      Number of complaints received by anyone and by any route (phone,
email, in person, letter, etc) in connection with this home.

Questions 1 -3 and 7 - Please see attached refusal notice

Question 4 - The information that we hold does not refer to deaths of all
people who used the care service as it would only be people who are funded
by Kirklees.

Question 5-6 - We don’t hold this information.

Please provide these figures in the following way:  Breakdown of the above
for years 2014, 2015 for full year; and for 2016 between January and June.
If any of the numbers are fewer than 5 for certain years, and you would
therefore be unable to disclose them, please feel free to add the numbers
for different years together and provide the total number.          
               

If you are not content with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review.  Requests for internal reviews should
be submitted within 2 months of the date of receipt of the response to
your original request and should be addressed to the Monitoring Officer,
Civic Centre I, PO Box 1274, Huddersfield HD1 2WZ.  Alternatively, you can
send an email to: [1][email address]. 

Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.

If you are not content with the outcome of any review you have the right
under section 50 of the 2000 Act to apply to the Information Commissioner
for a decision as to whether your request for information has been dealt
with in accordance with the requirements of the Act.  The Information
Commissioner’s website is at [2]www.ico.org.uk and gives more information
about the role and duties of the Commissioner.  The Information
Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner’s Office,
