"In addition to this allegation, the IPCC will examine whether Wiltshire Police subsequently took any steps to investigate these claims."
In a statement, Wiltshire Police said: "Sir Edward Heath has been named in relation to offences concerning children.
"He lived in Salisbury for many years and we would like to hear from anyone who has any relevant information that may assist us in our inquiries or anyone who believes they may have been a victim.
"Some people may never have spoken out about the abuse they have suffered but we would urge them to please contact us and to not suffer in silence."

Serious accusations and perhaps an indication that this inquiry is being taken seiously and that no door is too high to receive the policemens knock
Yet again, we see either a decaying or befuddled minor 'celebrity' or a deceased politician offered up to the public like a sacrificial lamb.
You only hear about the dead ones they are willing to sacrifice in order to save themselves.
I think there's all sorts of things going on. Not in a great way — not with women. I think the real problem is with you know, erm, boys?
The BBC understands the former prime minister is also among those being looked at as part of Operation Midland.
Operation Midland is examining claims that boys were abused by a group of powerful men from politics, the military and law enforcement agencies at locations across southern England and in London in the 1970s and 1980s.
It has focused on the Dolphin Square estate in Pimlico, south-west London.
Separately, the States of Jersey Police has confirmed Sir Edward forms part of Operation Whistle - its investigation into historical allegations of abuse in Jersey.
Some of the allegations within the overall investigation relate to abuse "within institutions or by people of public prominence", the Jersey force has said.
It includes 45 suspects - some of whom are dead or currently unidentified - at four institutions, and currently includes 13 "people of public prominence", the force's website says.
