Please can you tell me under the Freedom of Information Act how many social service referrals you have had because a child was transgender.
Please provide the number of referrals for the years 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 to May 1.
Can you tell me how many of these referrals required further action?
If further action was taken please can you provide numbers on what action was taken, i.e. 4 cases taken into care etc.
We do not record information on this basis. To extract this information would require a review of all social service referrals during these years to establish if any referrals had been made on this basis and whether any action had been taken. Because of the volume of social service referrals received every year and the time it would take to review every single case, this would take longer than the appropriate time limit of 18 hours.
We are therefore not obliged to provide this information pursuant to section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
