A spokesperson for the home says the allegations are being taken "extremely seriously" but its initial findings show there is "no evidence to suggest velcro straps were used" on a resident.

The home says it is "working closely with police and other agencies".

West Midlands Police says it is reviewing "venues and events taking place" over the next fortnight following last night's attack in Manchester.

He added:

The explosion that killed 22 people following a pop concert in Manchester last night happened in a box office area at the venue, close to the entrance to Victoria railway and tram station.

George Kassimeris, a professor of security at the University of Wolverhampton, said the attack potentially raised "a number of questions concerning security regarding concert venues/stadia nationwide" with the "summer season looming".

He said "it is important to remember all those many attacks that never materialise because of the vigilance and prevention strategies of UK’s counter-terrorism forces".

A security intelligence expert based in Birmingham says the suicide attacker that struck at a pop concert in Manchester will have looked at the venue's security measures.

Phil Ingram said: "[Such venues] work on what is called an onion ring principle where you get layers of security that work their way into the tightest level.

"This suicide bomber will have looked at that, looked at the layers of security and seen how he can get as close as possible without actually having got into an area where it would have made him stand out and be suspicious."
