Baby P
Identify two reports on serious failures to protect individuals from abuse.
Report 1.
Baby p
Baby P was failed by the police, social workers and the lawyers.
This little toddler had 60 visits from agencies over an 8 month period.
The authorities did not realise that an aggressive partner lived at the house.
The full report into how baby p died was disclosed by his own mother, Tracey Connelly,she told the authorities that she had a boyfriend but they did not ask who he was or insist on meeting him. She even named her boyfriend STEVEN PARKER – who later battered little peter to death – as her next of kin on health records, but council failed to investigate his background.
Had they done so they would have discovered he had previously been questioned by police on suspicion of torturing his grandmother.
The revelations came after ministers released in the full the two serious case reviews into Bay P`s death.
The reports were kept secret but were released by the coalition after pressure by campaigners.
Seventeen month old Peter suffered more than 50 injuries in months of abuse by Connelly, Barker, and his brother Jason Owen.
This was despite 60 visits from social workers – as well as medics and police – in eight months before his death on August 3rd 2007.
1) Social workers never thought Baby P was being harmed and considered his care to be routine, low risk case, requiring family support, and never changed their minds. 2) His mother was disorganised, dirty, smelly and was without much conscience, but social workers failed to confront her because she intimidated the staff. 3) Police strongly believed that baby p`s injuries were non-accidental, but they did by not do their duty by accepting the responsibility to investigate the injuries. They also swallowed Connelly`s account of Barkers limited involvement which showed lack of thoroughness of the police investigation. 4) The family GP accepted Connelly`s lie that he bruised
