British INDEPENDENT reports into the death of Peter Connelly, or Baby P, will be published in full for the first time this morning. The two Serious Case Reviews will provide more detail about the failure of Haringey's social services, the police and health authorities in protecting the 17-month-old from harm. Baby Peter, of Penshurst Avenue, Tottenham, died in August 2007 after months of abuse.
His mother, her boyfriend and his brother who lodged with the family at the time are serving prison terms for causing or allowing his death. Baby Peter had suffered more than 50 injuries, and had come into contact with social services, doctors, and the police more than 60 times.
Serious case reviews are carried out when a child dies of suspected abuse and shed light on what went wrong. A summary was published last year, but full details will be revealed today. British social services and families forward staff dosent have much experience with alot of issues and most of the times complaints ignored and more funny if you report child abuse they will advice that you need to take a anger management or pycological test which CAFCASS has start to go same way is social services.
However both has many professional staff but how will you know? County Court and Family Law allows abused children to stay with mother most of the time (%99) by law so how can you protect kids even if you report.
If you ever time please read Barnardos report which has been published months ago, because that will explain all and how can you protect kids while British Family Law stops you and even more worse leaves kids with abuser and in divorce paradise fathers dosent have any rights so lets see what will change in the coming years. This is very serious and needs big attention to many peoples future.
Just Sick
Vulnerable children are being "damaged" by delays in care proceedings in England and Wales, a charity has said. Barnardo's wants to see a 30-week limit instead of the average 57 weeks children have to wait for county courts to make care or supervision orders..
Needs Attention
The UK’s largest children’s charity reveals new data showing that children are being damaged due to unprecedented delay in the courts in England and Wales. A five year long pattern of deterioration has led to family courts taking up to 65 weeks to rule if it is safe for children to stay with their parents. Vulnerable children are waiting on average more than a year (57 weeks) in unstable family homes or emergency foster placements before a county court decides if they will be taken into care. In the family proceedings (magistrates) court the average time is 45 weeks – more than 10 months. Court data shows that at the end of 2009 there were50 per cent more unresolved care proceedings cases than at the end of 2008. According to the The Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (Cafcass) in England new applications account for less than half of this increase, indicating that the courts are taking longer to close a significant number of cases..
Ensuring all cases are dealt with in less than 30 weeks (seven months) with a tiered, fast track target of 12 weeks for children under 18 months Providing family group conferencing to all children and families prior to care proceedings to ensure the early identification of kinship care Training for all court staff to improve understanding of the impact of delay on child development and judges needs to give attention every detail, not just what mother says specialy because family law just for mothers favor and father dosent have much right, also fathers will lucky if they can get thier belongings from his own house. Cafcass and Families Forward Services needs better staff for child protection and Police needs to give more attention to details where child abuse has been reported.. As we know West Yorkshire Police dosent has any knowledge about child protection..
