A CUMBRIA Constabulary spokesperson said: “The Constabulary have reviewed Mr Justice Peter Jackson’s findings from the second Finding of Fact hearing into the death of Poppi Worthington.
“The Constabulary are fully aware of Mr Justice Jackson’s criticisms of the initial investigation and have assessed these.
“Policies and procedures are being reviewed by the force.
"Lessons have already been learned from this case as the Constabulary aims to ensure Mr Justice Jackson’s criticisms are addressed for future investigations.
"As part of this review, since July 2014 additional training has been issued to officers.
“The Constabulary made a self-referral to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) in June 2014.
“Three officers were subject to the investigation.
"One officer was suspended and has since retired, the other two officers were moved into different roles.
"One of the officers is currently undergoing performance proceedings and the second officer has been dealt with by management action.
“A second investigation into the death of Poppi Worthington, led by a new investigation team, commenced on 15th July 2014.
"Following a thorough investigation a decision was made by the Crown Prosecution Service that the two people arrested should face no further action in relation to the death.
“The Constabulary will support any future inquest or hearing into this death and have cooperated fully with the IPCC investigation.
"Whilst performance proceedings are active and an inquest is to be held, the Constabulary is unable to comment any further, or go into any specific details, to avoid prejudicing potential outcomes.
“The death of a child is always tragic and the Constabulary’s thoughts remain with the family and friends of Poppi Worthington.”
