The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating allegations concerning Wiltshire Police’s handling of an alleged claim of child sexual abuse made in the 1990s against former Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath.
A dedicated helpline for people to call if they have been a victim of abuse has been set up.
The NSPCC launched the line for anyone who has been a victim, or who has information, about an abuser.
The phone number is 0808 800 5000 and specially trained staff will answer your call.
A brothel madam has denied reports she threatened to expose Edward Heath as a child abuser and said she had no involvement with him.
A man has claimed that he was raped aged 12 by former Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath.
Wiltshire Police say they've 'worked tirelessly' to establish Ted Heath abuse claims
