Child abuse victims face 'postcode lottery' when dealing with Police

Child abuse victims face 'postcode lottery' when dealing with Police

A report by the All Party Parliamentary Group for Children (APPGC) warns that children who have suffered sexual abuse face a 'postcode lottery' in the way that they are treated by police officers.

The group found that many young people's first experience of the police is as a victim or a suspected offender and many children first encounter the police through being stopped and searched.
