BBC'S POLICE PROTECTING CHILDREN SERIES (Amendment 1)

Line 11, at the end add, 'while recognising that an effective response to the sexual abuse of children and a crucial element of a thorough child protection system requires the management of offenders by excellent work by all agencies represented on Multi Agency Protection Panels, community based programmes to assist offenders and potential offenders to take responsibility for addressing their offending behaviour and improved investment to ensure that appropriate resources are available to all communities; and recognises that this all needs to be based on an improved public understanding helping to move on from revulsion and incomprehension to accepting that this is a problem which must and which can be properly tackled.'
