Laming report on child protection is damning
“Important lessons were not learnt after the tragic death of Victoria Climbié. Ministers have failed to work together to provide a co-ordinated approach to protecting children.
“It is disappointing that the report fails to accept the need for an independent inquiry. We need a fresh, in-depth look at all these issues so that we can be sure that vulnerable children will not continue to be failed by the state.
“While extra training for social workers is welcome, ministers also need to look at their high case loads – finding the time for training will be very difficult.”
