You have chosen the option to abandon the investigation.

Whilst a valid option, given what you have seen so far we recommend that it’s premature to give up now.

You have chosen the option to wait for the decision of an officer senior to you as to what to do next.

It may be the case that under the decision-making procedures of the organisation your work for, you are required to wait for such a decision.

However, for the purposes of this training course, it is assumed that your senior officer informs you that she will rely on your best judgement as to what to do next.

Therefore, you are required to make up your own mind.

For the remainder of this course, it is therefore assumed that you will make your own decisions, and the option to ask for the opinion or consent of a senior officer will not be available.
