Request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA)

I write in connection with your request for information, which was received by on 05/01/2015.

Following receipt of your request searches were conducted within Nottinghamshire Police to locate the information you require.

RESPONSE

Under S 1 (1) (a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA), I can confirm that Nottinghamshire Police does hold the information you have requested.

Please find below answers to your questions:-

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am seeking the following pieces of information in relation to the use of "Sarah's Law", the Child Sex Offender Disclosure Scheme, and "Clare’s Law", the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme.

Since its introduction in April 2011, I would like to know how many Nottinghamshire residents broken down into as specific locations as possible have used Sarah’s Law in order to identify possible sex offenders in their surrounding area.

The only location details recorded in relation to the applicant is whether they reside in Nottinghamshire County or in Nottingham City. Therefore we are only able to provide this level of location information in respect of applications under Sarah’s Law.

Since its introduction there have been 176 applications* under Sarah’s law made by individuals living in Nottinghamshire County and 70 applications by individuals living in Nottingham City.

*figure correct as at 07/01/2015

Since its introduction in March 2014, I would also like to know how many Nottinghamshire residents - broken down into as specific locations as possible have used Claire’s Law to enquire whether their partner has a history of domestic violence or violent acts.

The only location details recorded in relation to the applicant is whether they reside in Nottinghamshire County or in Nottingham City. Therefore we are only able to provide this level of location information in respect of applications under Claire’s Law.

From March 2014 to present day, Nottinghamshire Police have received 30 applications from residents residing within the City boundary and 53 from residents residing in the County*.

*figures correct as at 13/01/2015

In addition to these requests, please could you provide me with, or direct me to, the latest year-on-year statistics for sex abuse and domestic abuse across Nottinghamshire.

Clarification received 06/01/2015

To clarify my request, it would be great to have the third set of information from 2011 onwards.
