LAMI-99 Response Historic

Amend Working Together for police to exclusively conduct child criminal investigations.

Recommendation

The Working Together arrangements must be amended to ensure the police carry out completely, and exclusively, any criminal investigation elements in a case of suspected injury or harm to a child, including the evidential interview with a child victim. This will remove any confusion about which agency takes the ‘lead’ or is responsible for certain actions.
