Visit to Abu Dhabi police headquarters with Dr Nicholas Ridley:

In July 2009 Liz and Nicholas Ridley delivered a week long course on the investigation of crime to police officers and social support workers in the United Arab Emirates.

They visited a children's farm designed for children on contact visits with their parents where they can relax and spend quality time together.

It is hoped that this will be the first of a number of visits to exchange knowledge and expertise in child protection.
