  • Bichard Report
    *OTUJUVUFPG5FDIOPMPHZ $ " . # 3 * % ( & Document Summary The Bichard Inquiry Report HMSO, June 2004 INTEC, Chesterton Mill, French’s Road, Cambridge CB4 3NP Tel 01223 224929 Fax 01223 363601 www.intec.ac.uk Document Summary: The Bichard Inquiry Report The Bichard Inquiry Report On 17th December 2003, Ian Huntley was convicted of the murders of Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells. It emerged that Huntley had been known to the authorities over a period of years, coming into contact with the police and/or social services in relation to 11 separate incidents involving allegations of criminal offences, between1995 and 1999. Nine of these were sexual offences. This was not discovered in the vetting check carried out by Cambridgeshire Constabulary when he was appointed caretaker of Soham Village College late in 2001. This inquiry looks at the child protection procedures in Humberside Police and Cambridgeshire Constabulary, with a focus on the effectiveness of record keeping, vetting practices and information sharing with other agencies. It aims to discover what happened, why it happened and what lessons can be learned. Humberside Police Huntley repeatedly came to the attention of Humberside Police and Social Services, with numerous allegations of rape, sexual assault and underage sexual intercourse, but they failed to share information effectively with other agencies and each case was looked at in isolation. The failures in the way in which Humberside Police managed their intelligence systems led to information being lost without appropriate review, or not recorded at all. The poor quality of information available prevented Huntley’s behaviour pattern from being identified soon enough. The problems in Humberside were, in the words of the Chief Constable, ‘systemic and corporate’ There was a failure to identify the problems over a period of several years, because of a lack of effective management audits and inspections to ensure that systems were working.

  • Christopher Alder – Press Statement 27 March 06
    Christopher Alder – press statement 27 March 06 Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for attending. The Independent Police Complaints Commission has today published the review commissioned in April 2004 by the then Home Secretary, David Blunkett. The review is an independent assessment of the various investigations surrounding the death of Christopher Alder in a Humberside Police custody suite on 1 April 1998. May I first state clearly and unambiguously how sad I am to be here today. It is a tragedy for Christopher and his family that he died that night. I realise that nothing that I say and nothing that I do can bring him back or take away their grief at his loss. The tragedy also cast a shadow across Humberside Police and the community we serve. It is my firm belief that we owe it to Christopher and his family to learn the lessons from the incident. Eight years have now elapsed since the events in question and I can reassure everyone that a significant number of changes have already been introduced not just in Humberside but across the police service generally. There are, however, recommendations in the report which are new and which I personally will take steps to implement locally and to support nationally. Humberside Police have co-operated fully with the IPCC Review and we welcome the publication of the report today and its findings. Turning now to the report itself. Whilst I would like to be in a position to address in detail all issues raised in the report I am not able to do so.
