Police have contacted more than 100 families whose children attended Jack and Jill Childcare in Torquay, although around a dozen are believed to have been directly affected. “These appear to be the actions of a lone individual, and the offences do not involve the taking or distributing of any images.” Police said all parents and guardians whose children attended Jack and Jill Childcare in the period under investigation had now been contacted. Nancy Meehan, deputy director of Torbay children’s Services, said: “We take safeguarding children incredibly seriously, and we are working closely with partners including the police in relation to this matter.” A helpline has been set up by the Torbay Safeguarding Children’s Partnership, on 01803 208820.
