- You will identify what, if any, avenues of enquiry can be explored as a result of (1) this assessment, or (2) any new information passed to Police, which are to be prioritised and warrant further enquiries to be undertaken and action.
- You will continue to assess and re‐assess risk, particularly in relation to any new information that is presented to Police.

This review has now been completed. What follows is the product of almost four years of work, which has included:
- A review of existing evidence and other material from Court and Police files, archives and publications
- Approaching and interviewing witnesses who had already made statements and / or given evidence, as well as additional potential witnesses
- Identifying and pursuing (where possible) any further lines of enquiry

The Review Team has attempted to give all persons who have any interest in the Crewe case an opportunity to have input. Individuals have been contacted directly in certain cases, as well as public notices being given in the media for persons to contact the Review Team with any information. One of the goals was to conduct as thorough an investigation as possible in the hope of ensuring that all reasonable avenues of enquiry were explored.
