A POLICE investigation into historic allegations of physical, sexual and emotional organisational abuse in the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s at St Francis Boys Home in Shefford is to be overseen by a senior officer.
Mark Ross and a team of detectives will ensure all previous allegations are investigated within current police guidance and review all of the information provided by the victims and witnesses.
In the course of the review, the investigation team will be contacting all victims and witnesses of previous and present investigations, and will ensure the current investigation is comprehensive, transparent and the victims are fully supported with assistance from partner agencies.
Mr Ross said: “The investigation has evolved due to the large number of victims and witnesses. We are now in a very different era and social attitudes and the criminal justice has changed significantly in the last 50 years. I aim to provide all of the victims involved with an outcome.
