A TEAM of detectives working as part of 'Operation Care' are investigating numerous allegations of historical child abuse that are believed to have taken place from about 1970 in care establishments across Merseyside.
To ensure that the enquiry is thorough, Detective Superintendent John Robbins is appealing to victims who have not yet contacted 'Operation Care' to ring them. Detective Supt Robbins added: "Calls will be dealt with sympathetically and confidentially."
VICTIMS are urged to ring the special hot-line number on 0151 777 2456.
