A serious case review into the suicide of a woman during a trial has found her death could have been prevented. Frances Andrade killed herself after giving evidence against teacher Michael Brewer who abused her while at Chetham's School of Music.
The serious case review following the death of Frances Andrade recommended for the Home Secretary and College of Policing to be asked to develop guidelines on how to share information across forces when dealing with historic abuse cases.
Managerial oversight and professional supervision of cases involving childhood abuse victims should be provided in the police force, medical profession and mental health services, it also recommended.
Responding to the findings, Greater Manchester Police's public protection division, said:
Surrey Police said they accepted that "more must be done" to recognise the needs of vulnerable people in historic child abuse cases and has since "identified improvements" to its information-recording practices, as well as issuing further guidance on pre-trial therapy and support.
