I was concerned to read reports of girls being subjected to the practice of breast-ironing in the UK, with 15-20 recent cases apparently reported in Croydon. Please can you confirm if reports of this type of abuse against young girls are recorded? If so, please can you provide the number of reported abuses against girls, broken down by borough, over the past five years? https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2019/jan/26/revealed-doz…
