Operation Care Child Abuse
Dear Merseyside Police,
Following my questions on Operation Care SM259/13 is it possible to answer these questions?
What childrens establishments were involved in the Operation?
Is there a public facing final report if so could you send that to me?
If not please could you send me the most Report which is of the latest date and summarising the whole Operation. I am imagining this to be a report to the higher ranks up the hierarchy?
Please contact me if needed to further refine my request.
Please could you also in the answer detail what search terms you used to find this so that in future I can better focus my requests.
Yours faithfully,
Shona Scott
