I acknowledge the genuine concern and commitment that underpins calls for reform in police data and intelligence systems. We all share the goal of protecting vulnerable children, making sure that they do not come to harm because of failures to share data and information with the right people at the right time, and ensuring that our policing infrastructure is fit for purpose and fit for the future. However, it is vital that these reforms are delivered thoughtfully, binding on to the robust accountability and reporting mechanisms already in place, without adding additional burdens on the teams working hard to deliver the step change needed.
