Disclosure Log

Message from Nottinghamshire County Council - 08 January 2025

Dear ***** *****,

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 – REQUEST FOR INFORMATION REFERENCE FOI/5216

Thank you for your request for information relating to Service provision for women involved in the Sex Industry.

We are now able to provide the following information:

1. Do you commission a specific service provision to support Women involved in the sex Industry
2. If yes, which organisation provides the service/s
3. If not – is that service provided locally by other funding, and who provides it
4. Is the service monitored through your Male Violence Against Women and Girls workstream
5. If not, who has oversight
6. Does the service provide distinct support to Women who want to exit the sex industry

 

We do not fund any specific work for sex workers- our Health Promotion and Outreach team as part of the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Sexual Health Service will work with sex workers but this is more ad hoc as part of broader outreach rather than a specific funded element of the service.

We trust this now satisfies your request and that you find this information to be helpful, however if you are unhappy with the way in which your request has been handled, then please email us at [email protected] quoting the reference FOI/5216 and we will be happy to review your request
