I was at work today when he got his first visit from PPU. He said they were thorough but quite pleasant, a huge change from our experiences so far.

They were here for a couple of hours - they hadn't read his case notes so went through everything with him.

At least he now has a point of contact for any questions relating to the SOR. He did point out how woolly some of the wording is and how it could easily be misinterpreted - they agreed it could be better.

They also said they can delete stuff from his phone (history etc once they have checked it). He sensibly asked for this in writing. We don't want to get tripped up later down the line. For now nothing has been deleted.
