Deleting ‘Policing Innocence’ - CCPAS Question Its Conclusions

… And we’re back!

Sorry for the absence.  I was away for two weeks of Spring Harvest in Minehead, one as a punter, and one helping on the Distinctive (11-14s) team.  Following that it has all been slightly crazy at work, with my laptop giving up the ghost.  It has now been fixed so back to blogging.
