1. Please can you provide me with the following responses to questions concerning after-school clubs on school sites. This refers to clubs or provision for children taking place in mainstream or independent schools.

a) Please provide the number of safeguarding referrals concerning after-school settings or clubs over the last five financial years (beginning 2017/18 up to the point this response is answered). Some councils in England record safeguarding alerts generally, others as section 47 enquiries or investigations (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/942454/Working_together_to_safeguard_children_inter_agency_guidance.pdf). Across Scotland, these types of alerts are more commonly known terminology-wise as Child Protection Referrals. Please detail a short description of the nature of the incident, the number of pupils and staff involved, and the outcome of the referral or investigation (if any).
We have had four referrals, 3 in 2018 and one in 2021; three led to management by the employer and one led to no further action

b) Over the same period in the same settings, please also detail all cases where possible 'organised abuse' was investigated involving multiple children and multiple possible offenders as detailed here: https://www.londoncp.co.uk/organised_complex.html
No cases or organised abuse recorded.
