Simon Bailey, the country's most senior police officer dealing with child sex abuse, says he has confidence in the risk assessment tools forces are now using and that they can identify individuals that pose the greatest threat to children.

Mr Bailey, Norfolk's chief constable, says a "very different debate" around the whole issue of child abuse "in all its awful guises" is needed.

"We have to start building resilience within our children so they can spot the signs of exploitation. That's why I think education in schools around this is so very important," he said.

"I think we have to start having a very different conversation with the IT companies, and start saying to them 'you need to start denying offenders access to this material'."

A leading child protection says police should focus on the more dangerous paedophiles, with access to children, rather than lower-level offenders who view indecent images online.

Simon Bailey, Norfolk's chief constable and the National Police Chiefs' Council lead on child protection, said he was "not going soft on people who view those images". 

He said: "I absolutely understand and recognise that every time one of those images is viewed, that victim is being abused again

"The fact is, there are now potentially in circulation 100 million of these images; we are having to deal with more referrals than we ever have done.

"Three years ago we would receive 400 referrals a month into the National Crime Agency, external from the United States of America - that's now approaching, on occasions, 5,000 a month."

Offenders who view child abuse images would still be on the Sex Offenders Register, and would be managed within the community.

People who view child sex abuse online should get help rather than a prison sentence , says Norfolk's Chief Constable Simon Bailey.

Mr Bailey, the National Police Chiefs Council lead on child protection, believes "saturation point" has been reached.

"Every month we are arresting over 400 men; we are safeguarding over 500 children every month as a result of targeting those people who view indecent imagery of children," he said.

"We are simply becoming inundated with the number of referrals we are having to deal with, and the number of cases that our child protection teams are now having to cope with.

"We have sophisticated risk assessment tools that I'm as confident as I can be will be able to determine whether or not an individual poses a risk of contact-abusing a child."

Mr Bailey suggested all individuals would still be arrested, but there were alternatives to going through the court system.

Norfolk County Council has issued the following statement, following a BBC investigation which revealed there have been hundreds of allegations of abuse made about carers working in people's homes.

"Every allegation of abuse involving vulnerable people is a cause for concern for the council and our partners in this area," it said.

"We have well-established and strong procedures for investigating all matters which are raised by individuals or carers. To really tackle adult abuse in Norfolk, we need everyone to see safeguarding people in their community as a collective responsibility and be vigilant. 

"Most often, the abuse is carried out by someone known to the person who is being harmed and it can come in many forms."

More than 400 allegations of abuse and neglect by home carers in Norfolk have been made in the last three years.

Physical, neglect and financial abuse were the main allegations made against the carers since 2013. 

Nationally, more than 23,000 allegations have been made. In Norfolk, 444 safeguarding alerts have been raised to the county council, although it's not clear how many were valid and fully investigated cases. 

The findings, from a  BBC Freedom of Information  request submitted by BBC Radio 4's File on 4, have been described as "horrifying" by parts of the care industry, which blames cuts to local government budgets.

The number of online child sex abuse suspects identified in the East of England has nearly trebled in just three years, according to official data. 

A Freedom of Information request by the BBC revealed more than 2,000 people were identified by eight police forces in 2016, compared to 758 in 2014. 

The number of cases is said to have left at least one police force overwhelmed. 

Det Supt Andy Rogers, from Northamptonshire Police, explains the problems faced by forces...

Drivers heading home from Norwich this evening are advised to avoid Salhouse Road if heading towards Rackheath and beyond.

The road is completely closed by deep excavations where the roundabout with the Northern Distributor Road (NDR) is being constructed.

Access to businesses is still available from the city end, but not all the way through to the Sole and Heel roundabout.

An 8th Century cemetery, containing 81 coffins, has been described as an "unusual discovery" by Tim Pestell, the curator of archaeology at Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery, external .

"Because the site was so unique, it is nationally significant," he said.

"Great Ryburgh will go down in the academic textbooks as an example of an early Christian community."

Mr Pestell says the landowner, Gary Boyce, got "unlucky, because it was so wonderful, it wasn't expected... that's why Historic England has put thousands of pounds into rescuing that site".

It's hoped some of the artefacts will eventually go on display at Norwich Castle, along with one of the coffins after it's been sent to York for conservation.  

Landowner Gary Boyce claims he's been left tens of thousands of pounds out of pocket since he uncovered the cemetery six months ago. Despite the funding, delays and being unable to run his business means that he is hoping to sell some of the coffins and artefacts in the future to help pay for some of the work. 

In a game that Norwich City dominated in terms of shots on goal, Ipswich Town's keeper Bartosz Bialkowski  came in for praise from his own manager Mick McCarthy and the Canaries' boss Alex Neil.

A developer who uncovered dozens of Anglo Saxon coffins on his land in west Norfolk says he's been left thousands of pounds out of pocket.

Gary Boyce uncovered the 8th Century cemetery six months ago in Great Ryburgh as he carried out work to build a fishing lake to protect his house and his neighbours from flooding. 

He says the cost of excavating the 81 coffins is currently £250,000 and he's had to remortgage his house to pay for the work. 

Landowners are responsible for the initial exploration costs of treasure found on their land, and the cost rises if human remains are discovered.

Historic England describes the find at Great Ryburgh as "significant", and has awarded a two-year grant worth £90,000.  Spokesman Will Fletcher says they tried to "operate as quickly as we could and provide some support to Gary because obviously he was in a very difficult position".
