Police have launched an investigation following a report of sexual abuse at a former care home in Stockport.
The report relates to boys who were residents at Belmont House, also known as Belmont Assessment Centre, on Baker Street in Heaton Norris around 1989/1990.The care home has subsequently closed down.

The investigation team is now appealing for anybody who may have information that can assist to come forward, particularly anyone who might have worked or lived at the home around 1989/1990.

Detective Constable Karen Wileman of GMP’s Public Protection Division said: “We are still in the early stages of our investigation but have made extensive enquiries since this report was made.

“Although many years have passed since it took place, we take all reports of sexual offences seriously, no matter how long ago they may have happened.

“Given the time that has passed, people who were previously residents or members of staff at the home may have moved to different areas of the country, or even abroad, but we are keen to speak to anyone who was involved with the home around the time the abuse took place.

“It is possible that these people may hold key information and I would ask that any of them who see or hear about this appeal please come forward.”
