Delays found in almost all serious case reviews and too many staff unable to recognize signs of abuse.

Summary:
The Ofsted report has showed that the standards of care in the network of schools, care workers and children’s home established would achieve inadequate. Care workers, staff in schools and health centers aren’t able to recognize signs of children who really need help. This caused involved children and delays in judging what went wrong in the child protection system. Councils don’t learn from their mistakes.
A second point which the Ofsted report covered is that the education system is failing poorer children. The less money your parents have, the less services you can receive. This is a disadvantage for the child, because the poorer children are harmed by education what compounds development.
Opinion:
In every system a mistake could happen once, but when a mistake is made you should learn from it so it would never happen again. In the case of Child protection there have been made lots of mistakes, but they didn’t avoid those mistakes after the first one. I can’t understand why those faults could have been made more than once. The Government should research every case were something went wrong, because I think that’s the best way to prevent those mistakes for a second time. Besides I think Government should improve the education system. There shouldn’t be any inequity in this system, because all children have to receive the same care and support by education and shouldn’t be harmed when there parents aren’t that rich.
1 opmerking:
And back again it surprised me that always something must happen, before the government does something. You can’t do that by children, they are our future. Like Lenneke said, it is always possible that something happen, especially by children, therefore they need more attention. Everybody knows that.
