Police asked someone to come to station days before bail, good or bad?

Wondering if anyone would know why someone would be asked to attend police station before the original bail date was set?
Person in question is a compulsive liar, and hiding some really nasty shady stuff; story has changed multiple times since originally brought in by police but as its involving small children them and their partner have been told either way don't want them around children which will not be changing regardless of what police say, but they were asked to come in ahead of their bail date and have come back with 'everything's fine' no expansion of whether charges have been dropped or what?

Anyone have any idea how bail works as googles not helpful, and why they'd have been asked to attend early and if it really means they're not going to act on anything?

Only previous time I've ever heard of this was when the suspect was asked to go in early and was given a caution (completely different type of offence many years ago completely unrelated people) but I'm really not sure how this would work in current situation?

Sorry for lack of any concrete info (again multiple lies so its anyones guess what is actually going on and hard to say much) just wondering if there's any other times a suspect would have been asked to go in early, did think originally maybe investigation was over and they had set a court date and wanted to read them the rules etc beforehand but just wanted to check if anyone knew how the legal system worked with this.

@Fedupofweekends they could be asked to go in early if the bail conditions had changed and they were being updated on the change.

Ah thank you; that's something never even considered.
Because they're both compulsive liars and I'd like to at least imagine somewhat ashamed of what the accusations are, bits of the story have changed every time so will never get to the truth unless it goes to court / in the papers, for example we was only made aware theyre not even allowed round under 18s about 2 months after initial police contact ? Thankfully we'd already stopped all contact cos just no.
But like if the charges had been dropped I'd personally have wanted everyone that doubted me to know that they had and I was proven innocent, not just a non answer like oh everything's fine. So this could be 100% the case, I guess that means that bail would be another 3 months while investigations continue if this is the case

I think they might call the person in to notify them of a change of bail conditions. Potentially that change could affect the investigation/case so they may extend bail to have more time to investigate further I guess if they didn't have enough to charge, first time round.

Thank you for this hopefully that is the case as I'd hate to think of the scumbag getting away with what he's been accused of
