Cleveland Police: National child protection inspection

Published on: 15 January 2025

Publication types: Child protection

Police Forces: Cleveland

This report sets out the findings of our 2024 inspection of child protection services in Cleveland Police.

In February 2024, we introduced a new child protection rolling inspection programme. For each police force in England and Wales, we make five judgments on how effectively the force safeguards children at risk.

In each inspection, we focus on the experiences of children who come into contact with the police when there are concerns about their safety or well-being.
