Two arrested in residential care assault probe
GoogleTwo men have been arrested after allegations of assault at a residential facility for young people with special educational needs.
The men, aged 34 and 41, were questioned on Tuesday on suspicion of common assault and ill treatment and/or wilfully neglecting an individual, following an investigation at Acacia Hall in Friesthorpe.
Lincolnshire Police said the men have been released on bail and the force is working with the local authorities as they investigate the allegations.
The BBC has contacted the Kisimul Group, which runs the facility and the nearby Acacia School, for comment.
In April, Ofsted confirmed it had suspended the residential licence for the facility which provides care and education for young people with autism, learning disabilities and complex needs, aged between 14 and 20.
