County Hall pledge to win back its stars

We will win back our four-star rating - that was the pledge from County Hall bosses following a disappointing review of its children’s services department. Earlier this year Norfolk County Council was awarded the coveted four stars by the Audit Commission for its overall performance. However, next year one of those stars will be lost because the council’s children’s services department has fallen from a good grade three to an adequate grade two following an inspection by the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted). Although the council insists the loss of the four star status will not see it punished financially, they will be striving to regain the star the council looks set to lose when the annual performance assessment is done in February. The council’s children’s services department has had a difficult year, with a growing number of schools in special measures, including some in Norwich, record numbers of children in care and problems in improving performance at GCSE. But Lisa Christensen, the council’s director of children’s services, said her department was striving to improve and outlined work which was in place to help tackle the schools which have gone into special measures. She said: We are dedicated to improving the lives of children and young people in Norfolk and have evidence that we are making real progress in a number of areas to transform the way services to families and children are delivered in the county. Our overall grade has dropped from last year despite the fact that we have improved or maintained performance in the majority of our performance indicators and it is clear that there is more work to do. Ofsted’s ruling is disappointing but we will not let it detract from our determination to improve the opportunities and outcomes for all of Norfolk’s children. That work is already in hand.

Following public criticism, several embarrassing cases resurfacing from the past and a painstaking subsequent review of procedure, the Church of England has published its “model protocol” for handling child protection cases.
The publication follows the announcement of the key principles of the review of past child protection cases by Church of England dioceses on 25 October 2007.
The House of Bishops Standing Committee finalised the protocol at its recent meeting, the Church announced yesterday.

Report finds child begging up by 30%

Sightings of child begging increased by 30 per cent in the last year, a study has found. The number recorded nationwide in 2006/2007 was 1,083 compared with 756 in 2005/2006, according to the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (ISPCC). The research, carried out by the ISPCC’s Leanbh programme which protects children at risk on the streets, is being used as part of a public awareness campaign launched today to highlight the dangers of child begging. Leanbh manager Mary Nicholson said the hike was due to both a change in legislation making it no longer illegal for adults to beg and the growing numbers of Roma in Ireland. “The statistics from the Leanbh service show that there has been a significant increase in sightings of children begging,” she said. “During the last year, there has been a shift in the profile of child begging. “Due to recent changes in legislation it is no longer illegal for an adult to beg. “However, under the 2001 Children Act, child begging represents a serious child protection concern that puts children at risk on every level, whether they are begging alone or with an adult,” she said. The key message in the campaign is ‘Giving Money Is Not The Answer’.

WE HAVE JUSTICE FOR OUR STEPHEN

Parents of a vulnerable man beaten to death by his unofficial carer today branded his killer an “evil, wicked man”. Stephen Gale, who had special needs, was subjected to months of torment, violence, starvation and abuse by Andrew Green at their shared home in Mowmacre Hill, Leicester. Yesterday, Mr Gale’s family cheered in court as Green was jailed for nearly 23 years. Mr Gale’s mother Maureen, 55, said: “Green is an evil, wicked man. We are absolutely elated that he got more than 22 years and we feel we have got justice for the family and for Stephen. “I especially loved it when the judge said, ‘take him down’ and he was led away to start his sentence. “It’s been a year now since we lost our son and nothing will ever bring him back, but he is safe and at rest now.” When he died, the 28-year-old weighed less than six stone, half the normal body weight for his 5ft 11ins frame. A final fatal attack on October 25 last year left Mr Gale with a catalogue of injuries. As Stephen’s body lay on the floor of the shared home in Garth Avenue, Green callously ordered his wife, Claudette (31), and housemate, Lisa Smith (27), to lie to police, blaming someone else for the injuries. Green (41), who admitted murder, was the bullying “leader of the pack,” of the shared dysfunctional household. He controlled the finances, and took Steven’s benefit money and cash sent by Mr and Mrs Gale, of Little Hampton, Sussex, who had no idea of their son’s terrifying ordeal. Nirmal Shant, prosecuting, said neighbours had seen Green, and occasionally the two women, attacking the victim in the street. She said Stephen once tried to escape a beating by leaping out of an upstairs window, but he did not complain of mistreatment. He died from multiple injuries, internal bleeding and shock. Miss Shant said: “The fatal attack was sustained. He fell to the ground and continued to be attacked, trying what little he could to defend himself and was left for dead for some time before the ambulance was called.” Green, who has an IQ of 72, in the bottom three per cent of the population, told police another man had attacked Mr Gale away from the home. He told officers: “I was like a carer for Steve and looked after him for so long. He meant the world to me.”

Government under fire after three new data mix-ups

A FURTHER series of embarrassing losses involving confidential personal data put new pressure on the government yesterday. First, it emerged two computer discs with details of more than 7,000 Northern Ireland motorists had got lost in the post after being sent to the DVLA in Swansea. Then it was disclosed that confidential personal details of dozens of prisoners, including their criminal records, had been delivered to a private company instead of going to Norfolk Police. And trade unions on Merseyside revealed that personal details of 1,800 health-authority staff, including their salaries and pension details, had been accidentally sent out to a number of private firms. The latest security breaches followed the loss by HM Revenue and Customs of two computer discs containing the entire child benefit database, with details of 25 million people.
