Local Authority Accommodation Figures

1. How many households are living in accommodation provided by the local authority under section 17 of the Children Act 1989 on 30th June 2022 (or closest possible date)?

2. What is the total number of adults living in these households on 30th June 2022 (or the closest possible date)?

3. What is the total number of children living in these households on 30th June 2022 (or the closest possible date)?

Devon County Council believes compliance with this request would exceed the appropriate costs limit under section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which is £450 or 18 hours of officer time. We do not hold a centralised record of these figures, and so to find and extract the information would require a manual search of every single case file on our system, which would greatly exceed the appropriate costs limit.
