Beds made available to victims of domestic abuse - Find a freedom of information request

I would like the following data for all councils that you cover.

I would like to receive information on the following for research purposes:

1. From March 23rd, 2020, to July 15th 2020, how many extra accommodation beds (we define each safe space of accommodation as a 'bed') were made available to victims of domestic abuse specifically (not homeless people or any other groups needing accommodation)?

2. Within this data on beds for domestic abuse survivors I would like the following breakdown: -

What is the gender breakdown of the beds provided?

i.e. how many were made available for women, men etc.

- How many of these beds were move on beds?

- How many of these beds were refuge beds?

- How many dependents also found refuge with the escaping parent?

Please let us know if you do not track this information but it is tracked on your behalf by a third party.

Please give details of the third party.

3. For all beds (extra and not) we would like to know of the same period (March 23rd 2020 to July 15th 2020)

4. Did you record diversity and inclusion data on the race/ethnicity, religion, disability status of the survivors using the beds?

5. What kinds of accommodation - bed and breakfasts, private rented accommodations, hotels, council housing, storage containers and any other housing - did you provide or commission?

How many of each were available during the periods above?

Please let us know if you do not hold this information. If the data is held by a third party on your behalf, please let us know the name of the third party
