Caroline Flack's family members have received an apology from the Met Police over the force's failure to keep a record about a decision to charge her with assault rather than giving her a caution
After an initial investigation by the force's Directorate of Professional Standards found there was no misconduct, Flack's family escalated their concerns to the IOPC - and the Met was ordered to reinvestigate complaints relating to the process involved in appealing against the CPS decision.
An IOPC spokesperson said that following"a thorough assessment of this case" the review had been partially upheld. While it did not identify any misconduct, it concluded that one officer should receive"reflective practice".
