Sad case in Bristol

The link is to a story about a sad case in Bristol where a young baby was hurt by his birth parents. What mystifies me about this is that it went on over a period of 50 days. That is when there should be at a minimum a health visitor visiting.

It explains a good reason why we need to open up the work of the safeguarding boards to scrutiny.

Since prior to the Climbie case the decisionmaking process in child protection has been skewed. If we are going to get it right we need to know where it is going wrong.

In this area you are supposed to take your baby to the clinic to be weighed,every couple of weeks.

Surely surgeries should know of babies born in the area and do a courtesy call.

Note that Dan Norris MP says this is why social work training should be excellent.

It is not just the training to blame,it is staff that are too incompetent to absorb the training.

The candidates they pick to be trained should also be excellent and not people whos lack of judgment and sense,means they miss glaring obvious signs of abuse.

The standard of people entering social work is dire.

In fact it leads one to believe they are only entering the profession as they are guaranteed a job,as SS will take anyone.

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
