Avon and Somerset – National child protection inspection
This report is a summary of the findings of our inspection of police child protection services in Avon and Somerset Constabulary, which took place between 24 July and 4 August 2023.
We examined how effective the police’s decisions were at each stage of their interactions with or for children. This was from initial contact through to the investigation of offences against them. We also scrutinised how the constabulary treated children in custody. And we assessed how the constabulary is structured, led and governed, in relation to its child protection services.
This report sets out our findings.
