Original Note:
While the circular as the poster describes does not exist, a circular in 2008 (HOC 17/2008) was issued to UK police which states police should only act on “significant harm” and that the “child’s perceptions” and “social development” must be taken into account before acting. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/fact-check-home-office-memo-143103588.html https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20130309160639/http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/about-us/corporate-publications-strategy/home-office-circulars/circulars-2008/017-2008/
