2. Please tell me how many complaints of this nature led to a referral being made to the Disclosure and Barring Service.
We hold this information but believe that disclosure may identify individuals unfairly and be against the reasonable expectations of the data subjects and therefore not comply with the first data protection principle – that processing is fair and lawful. For that reason we are exempting the information from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act Section 40 (2) – Personal Data.

In relation to question 1, the fields the adults worked in were sport, health, religion, youth work and fostering.
