This report completes the IPCA's inquiry into Police conduct, practices, policies and procedures relating to the investigation of child abuse. Part I was published in 2010 (#2495). The scope of this report is different to the Authority’s Part I Report. This report is primarily focused on the nature of, and the reasons for, the service failures which occurred in relation to the investigation of child abuse files in the Wairarapa Area. It also addresses service failures in other Police districts, and discusses the positive steps that have been and are being taken by Police to address those service failures, both in terms of shortcomings on particular files and in relation to practices, policies and procedures, at both district and national levels.
The Terms of Reference for Part II of the Authority’s Inquiry are included as Appendix A to this report. Essentially, Part II of the Authority’s Inquiry focused on three broad areas and this report is structured accordingly:
- Wairarapa Area service failures;
- Review of districts;
- Response of Police National Headquarters (PNHQ).
