The way adults at risk data is currently recorded for provisional management information is under review and therefore data is particularly susceptible to change. At this time, the information requested could only be obtained and quality assured at a disproportionate cost.

Individuals can be identified as being at risk in detention in a number of different ways, the Rule 35 reporting process is one of which. Centralised records do not currently determine the numbers of individuals that have been identified as an adult at risk as a result of a Rule 35 specifically and this information could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
