The Bichard Inquiry Report

The Bichard Inquiry was set up to investigate the circumstances surrounding the tragedy which occurred at Soham Village College late in 2001. The inquiry looks at the child protection procedures in Humberside Police and Cambridgeshire Constabulary, with a focus on the effectiveness of record keeping, vetting practices and information sharing with other agencies. It aims to discover what happened, why it happened and what lessons can be learned.
