How long do the Police have to investigate a crime before pressing charges.

I have been advised to report the cover up of child abuse by social workers to the Police. We made a formal complaint to the Chief Constable and Detectives visited our home to examine the evidence. I do not know if the social workers have been interviewed. How long do the Police have to investigate and prosecute surely it cannot go on indefinitely.



Thank you in anticipation of your help.
