However, in order to best respond I seek clarification on the following
point. 

In Question 1 and 2, you have asked how many complaints were recorded
under Section 76 of the Serious Crime Act 2015 for Controlling or Coervive
Behaviour and how many complaints of stalking and harassment were
recorded. Please can you clarify if you mean ‘incidents reported’ rather
than complaints.

I also need to add that pending receipt of this clarification I have
placed your request on hold where it will remain for 20 working days and
that if nothing is received within this period I will assume that the
information is no longer required and close the FOI down marked as
‘withdrawn’.

 

Kind Regards,

Dear Tara,
