Baby P - Our Child Services Are Failing Us Again

1 decade 5 years 7 months ago

On the news over here at the moment, is the horrendous case of Baby P, This 17 month year old baby was found dead with horrific injuries. The family had been visited by Social Services 60 times and yet still he was left at the hands of his mother and her boyfriend. All of this has happened minutes from where another child abuse case Victoria Climbie came to light a few years ago, leading to a massive overhaul in how we work together between agencies to share information that is int he best interests of the child. I'm just now finishing a unit on my diploma that looks at this exact thing.

Although it's tempting to blame social workers and Social Services completely, it's got to show the government that more funding needs to be given to SS. They are and have been for a number of years, massively under budgeted and this kind of thing is the consequence.
