Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Please tell me:

For the years 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the number of safeguarding S42 investigations related to exploitation of adults who were exploited or abused by strangers (that is, not staff of any organisation providing health or social care or family).

Where possible, could you please break down the category of abuse, demographic of the alleged victim and outcome?

If you do not provide the information requested, you must explain the legal basis for the information being withheld. If you decline part of the request due to information being sensitive, the request being too vague, or reasonable cost being exceeded, you must still provide the part you can fulfil.
