Two duties are placed on public authorities under Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). Notwithstanding applicable exemptions, the first duty at, Section 1(1) (a), is to confirm or deny whether the information specified in a request is held. The second duty at, Section1 (1) (b), is to disclose information that has been confirmed as being held. Under the provisions of those sections of the FOIA, we can confirm that the information you seek is not held by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent (OPCC).

We would like information regarding the number of services commissioned by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner in the past 12 months.
We are looking to find:
- The number of services commissioned by Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner in the past 12 months for:
- Child Victims of Child Criminal Exploitation
- Child Victims of Child Sexual Exploitation
Although we don’t fund any services that are solely for the purpose of supporting the above, some of the services that we commission for victims may support victims of these crimes. For example, the Sexual Violence Services provided by New Pathways detailed in Decision Log PCCG-2022-006 or our Children and Young People Victim Services within Connect Gwent, detailed in Decision Log PCCG-2022-008. Our other services which support Children and Young People who are involved in crime or at risk of becoming involved in crime could also from time to time support children who may have been affected by these crimes, for example Positive Futures as outlined in Decision Log PCCG-2022-005 or St Giles as outlined in Decision Log PCCG-2021-032.
The Freedom of Information Act is a public disclosure regime, not a private regime. Any information disclosed under the Act is thereafter deemed to be in the public domain, and therefore freely available to the general public and will be published on the OPCC website.
