Dear Chief Constable,
I heard the Treasury Minister earlier today interviewed on Manx Radio about a consultation which has been held into the revision of hours for those in receipt of Employed Persons Allowance.Many of the people involved will be lone parents.
I wondered if as part of the consultation the Isle of Man Constabulary contributed - specifically outlining the requirements in terms of child care and child protection and the legislation currently in place which covers children who might be left unattended by a working parent impacted by the changes.

Update: The Chief Constable has responded to say there has been no consultation with his Office or the Safeguarding Board he sits on. My thanks for the prompt reply.
