Recommendation LAMI-99: Amend Working Together for police to exclusively conduct child criminal investigations.
From Laming Inquiry — Final Report, published 28 January 2003.
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.
Jurisdiction: UK-wide
