HC Deb 24 July 2002 vol 389 c1487W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when guidelines will be issued for police authorities on child sex abuse cases; and if copies of the guidelines will be published. [51632]

Mr. John Denham

Much guidance relevant to this subject has already been issued by successive governments to the police and other agencies responsible for the protection of children. Inter-agency guidance on the management of complex child abuse investigations was published on 13 June. Copies have been placed in the Library and it is also available on the Home Office website.
