Bichard Inquiry into child protection measures
Following the Soham murder case, the Home Secretary asked Sir Michael Bichard to lead an independent inquiry into child protection measures, record-keeping, vetting and information-sharing.
The report of Sir Michael's inquiry was published in June 2004. He made 31 recommendations, eight of which fell to the Department to take action on. Sir Michael published the final version of his inquiry report on 15 March 2005.
