Statement Re. Child Protection Enquiry

06 October 2003

Western Isles Council and Northern Constabulary have issued an appeal to the press to exercise restraint in their reporting of events surrounding the current investigation being conducted on matters relating to child protection.

A spokesperson said, “This case centres around the welfare of some children in this community. We appreciate the responsible approach taken until now by the press, and ask that further reporting should continue to respect the rights of the children concerned and minimise the potential for disruption to their lives.”
