1. Reported incidents recorded with an unknown age (i.e Child or Adult) have been excluded in 2016/17, 2017/18, 2018/19 and 2019/20: they were 955, 1030, 1171 and 921 repectively. 2. Total number of incidents adjusted or estimated for either 2017/18 or 2018/19 or 2019/20. 3. The incident data from Bedfordshire Police for 2016/17 is drawn from a different system, making the 2016/17 data incomparable with the 2015/16 data. 4. Dorset Police was unable to provide data for 2015/16 due to a change in ICT system part way through the year. 5. The adult incident data from Lincolnshire Police only includes data for Q2-Q4 (July 2016-March 2017) due to a change in recording practices. The data is therefore not directly comparable with the data for 2015/16. 6.

1. Durham unable to provide total number of individuals and breakdown by Child and Adult. 2. The individual data from Bedfordshire Police for 2016/17 is drawn from a different system, making the 2016/17 data incomparable with the 2015/16 data. 3. Cleveland and Dorset Police were unable to provide this data in 2015/16; South Yorkshire unable to do so as indicated. 4. The adult individual data from Lincolnshire Police only includes data for Q2-Q4 (July 2016-March 2017) due to a change in recording practices. The data is therefore not directly comparable with the data for 2015/16. 5. The children data for North Wales was retrospectively revised downwards in 2018/19. . = Not applicable. x = Not available.

1. The data is taken from closure reports added to missing incidents. It therefore excludes any incidents not resolved by 31 March 2020, and is dependent on the information disclosed when the person returns. As a result, it may also underrepresent the harm suffered whilst individuals are missing as they may not disclose this to officers immediately on their return. 2. The total number of times harm outcomes were endorsed on closure reports for missing incidents. It may be possible to endorse more than one harm outcome, and therefore does not equate to the total number of incidents where the person suffered some form of harm. 3. Forces unable to provide this data. 4. This is the proportion of closure reports where this harm was endorsed as a percentage of all occasions when a harm outcome of any kind was endorsed, i.e we have excluded harm unspecified from the base. 5. PSNI and Scotland were unable to provide this data. . = Not applicable. x = Not available.

Subsequent review of Interpol cases has led to a change in procedure in their management and hence a substantial reduction.
