FOIA ref.32/1353 (Reported incidents of student on student violence)

Reported incidents of student-on-student violence

Request

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to make a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Please could I be sent figures relating to incidents of reported student on student violence/crime/assault over the last 5 academic years?

I would like to see the number of complaints & broken down by type of violence/crime/assault (e.g. complaints of sexual harassment, sexual violence, theft, assault etc.)

These complaints can be registered as actual crimes, complaints, accusations, or incidents - whether or not they have been escalated to the police.

If the incidents could be broken down as much as possible, that would be brilliant too.

I look forward to hearing from you by 14th February 2019.

If you need any clarification please do not hesitate to get in touch, either via email or via phone (_) - whichever is easier.

If you do not store this information, could you please let me know what information you do store in relation to crime and your student population.

Best wishes,

Response
