Request

For each individual academic year from 2019/20 to 2023/24, please provide the total number of recorded incidents involving pupils under 18 on school premises within your authority that were categorised as involving the possession, use, or supply of controlled drugs/substances. 

If you do not hold the requested data as far back as 2019/20, please provide the data for as many academic years as possible between this time period. Similarly, if you already hold the completed data for the year 2024/25 then please also include that. 

Please note I am not requesting any personal data or information that could identify individual pupils or schools. 

Please also note that you may record this data under 'controlled substances' or 'drugs and alcohol' - simply let me know which in your response and I will accept responses under any of the above.
