Freedom of Information Request: 0568 2019/20

Please answer the following questions separately for the following financial years (i) 2015/16, (ii) 2016/17, (iii) 2017/18 and (iv) 2018-19.

1. (a) How many reports of sexual assaults on patients were recorded by you, and (b) of these how many were patients who were on mixed-sex wards?

2. How many reports of sexual assaults on staff were recorded by you?

3. How many of the (a) patient sexual assaults and (b) staff sexual assaults were reported to the police.

The Trust does hold the information you have requested, but as the figures are very low (all numbers are less than 5) we are withholding the exact figures under Section 40 (2) of the Freedom of Information Act (2000) as releasing these figures could potentially identify patients and staff.
