CHILD protection officials failed to recognise the danger to a toddler who was tortured and killed by her stepfather, a report said yesterday.
But social services chiefs said lessons will be learned from her death in a bid to ensure it does not happen again.
A report into the death of the two-year-old said there was ‘a failure to recognise indicators of risk’.
The review of the case of the child called Lois also found that even when a risk assessment was undertaken it was ‘inadequate’.
Officials in charge of social services in Caerphilly county, where Lois lived with her mother and stepfather, said staff training and support had now been improved and procedures strengthened.
Lois, who lived on Caerphilly’s Lansbury Park estate, died on November 8, 2004, from a head injury. She had been placed on the child protection register a month earlier.
We will learn from tragic Lois killing, insist officials

Kylie Minogue has joined with NSPCC and ChildLine in support of a new campaign to raise funds for abused children, The Child’s Voice Appeal.
The services received 2.3 million calls in the last year from more than half a million kids needing help.
Many reported calling several times just to get through to a counsellor.
The appeal aims to fund up to 15 extra call centres next year, and boost volunteers by about 600 to help get to every call first time.

Based on a research event organised by the Cafcass Children’s Rights Team, the report outlines what young people in care feel about their health and wellbeing. The report was researched in collaboration with Professor Adrian James from the Centre for the Study of Childhood and Youth, University of Sheffield; and evaluated by independent research provider

The imprisonment of Charles Taylor (The 71 year old pensioner)
January 3, 2008Watch The Tv Broadcast At The End Of This Post!
http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/The_imprisonment_of_Charles_Taylor_01.htm
John Hemming MP & Robert Simms MP, have tabled an Early Day Motion concerning the imprisonment of Charles Taylor, ( the 71 year old pensioner from Poole in Dorset ) who has a heart condition who was sentenced to 20 months imprisonment for staying in contact with his grandchild who is in Care. The EDM asks that the Home Secretary releases Charles Taylor immediately. The imprisonment of Charles Taylor is particularly reprehensible, when it is also known, that the government has made numerous announcements drawing attention to the lack of prison spaces for serious convicted criminals.
The EDM will be published tomorrow in the usual segment of the House of Commons website and will then be given a number.
This EDM will allow the press and media to identify Charles Taylor and to provide the background to a story which the authorities have been keeping from the public. It will clearly identify that Family Court secrecy has been used to conceal information that the government, social workers and other public officials are too embarrassed to have the press report. It also clearly identifies the gagging of the press and the clandestine restrictions on the freedom of speech.

A revolution in social care?
December 11, 2007Full Article and Credits:
http://www.stopinjusticenow.com/News_0679.htm
The government has announced what it hails as a revolution in social care. Money will now be placed directly into the bank accounts of those entitled to help, meaning they can pick and choose both the kind of care they want and who they want to provide it. So for instance, instead of meals on wheels, an elderly person could - in principle at least - use the money to pay for someone to come in and help with the cooking. Instead of respite care for a disabled person, the money could be spent on a holiday. Chris Moon-Willems, who took part in one of the pilot schemes for the new programme, helped her elderly parents to hire their own carers. “We now act as employers,” she says. She is a great supporter of the new system, which she says provides much more freedom and flexibility to those who need support in their homes. The scheme, Putting People First, will be rolled out across the UK from next April. It will involve an extra £520m on top of the existing social services budget over the next three years, and according to the prime minister, puts “real control into the hands of those in care and their carers”. But concerns have been raised as to who will benefit, and whether it is really wise to place potentially complex decisions into the hands of some of the most vulnerable members of society. Market forces There will of course be restrictions on how the money is spent, and safeguards against people dipping into the budget for items one would be hard pressed to describe as care related. The money is paid into a bank account which is separate from the individual’s own current account: under the pilot scheme, every month the local authority received a statement, detailing how the money has been spent. It must only go on items which have been agreed in a care plan, but this could include anything from membership fees to a local club in place of attending a day centre, or a hotel break instead of respite care. When it comes to services such as cleaning, cooking or providing personal assistance, those entitled will be able to employ who they wish: while the details have yet to be finalised, it is not unfeasible that a relative or neighbour could be engaged to take on these tasks.
