Child safety

Protecting life and preventing crime are primary tasks of the police. Children are citizens who have the right to the protection offered by the criminal law. The police have a duty and responsibility to investigate criminal offences committed against children.

Cheshire Constabulary strives to ensure that any investigations involving children are always carried out sensitively, thoroughly and professionally.
