How Did the Police Handle the Nicola Bulley Case?

A damning report into the Nicola Bulley case finds that the release of sensitive personal information was “avoidable and unnecessary”.

On the release of personal information, Lancashire Police's Deputy Chief Constable Sacha Hatchett said: "We worked proactively with the Information Commissioner's Office immediately after the disclosure was made and they concluded that no action was required against the force.”

Following the disappearance which sparked a TikTok frenzy, what can we learn from the review? Adam talks to the former HM Inspector of Constabulary, Zoë Billingham, and disinformation correspondent, Marianna Spring.
