Crime and Policing BillContribution
This is to prevent retaliation against those who report. I well remember a case in which a newly qualified teacher properly reported what a young girl had told her about what had been done to her and her siblings in the family home. She then had to face the vindictive and furious response of those children’s stepfather. That is what this amendment is geared to prevent.
