Male victims of domestic abuse - Find a freedom of information request

Specifically I need, for the calendar year 2023 (1st January to 31st December inclusive):

1. Total number of approaches made to your authority (either through homelessness channels, specialist domestic abuse team or antisocial behaviour team) citing domestic abuse as the reason for need for support.

2. How many of these approaches were made by males. As mentioned above, I am conducting research into male victims of domestic abuse.

3. A numerical breakdown of those approaches made by males by sexual orientation. My reasoning for this request is to establish what proportion of approaches are made by male victims from the LGBTQIA+ sector.

4. A numerical breakdown of those approaches where it was subsequently determined that the male was in fact the perpetrator of domestic abuse.

5. A numerical breakdown of those approaches where the male victim was assisted into either

a) refuge or b) B&B or c) refused safe accommodation.

My reasoning for this request is to understand whether accessibility of refuge is more common by geographical area.
