How Did the Police Handle the Nicola Bulley Case?

Release of sensitive personal information was 鈥渁voidable and unnecessary鈥

A damning report into the Nicola Bulley case finds that the release of sensitive personal information was 鈥渁voidable and unnecessary鈥.

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.鈥

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

And, the Covid Inquiry continued, with chief medical officer for England, Chris Whitty, taking the stand. Adam is joined by Alex Thomas from the Institute for Government and health correspondent, Jim Reed.
