Body Searches: Children
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many strip-searches were carried out on children by Greater Manchester Police in each of the last five years; and what proportion of these were carried out on children of Black and Minority Ethnicity.
- Answer
-
The Home Office does not hold this information centrally.
For the first time in the year ending March 2022, the Home Office collected and published data on strip searches that occurred in police custody. Since it was the first year of collecting data, it was done so on a voluntary basis and Greater Manchester Police did not provide data.
Data for forces that did provide data are available here: Police powers and procedures: Other PACE powers, England and Wales, year ending 31 March 2022 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Collection of this data will be mandatory for all forces to provide from the year ending March 2023 onwards. Data for the year ending March 2023 will be published in Autumn 2023.
