Sold.

We couldn’t afford a dog either, we used to take turns taking each other for a walk …

When I was young we couldn’t afford the dog bowl … or the crumble …

Looks brilliant that

🤣🤣🤣

Any idea what size lead shot they are equal to? Any idea what size lead shot they are equal to? 7 2.4mm UK size 7 lead size? Does that mean energy equivalent of size 2/3 but with pellet count of number 7’s?

Thanks @oowee and @Scully… Start a new job in the NHS tomorrow… imagine it’ll be just as bad but in different ways 🤦‍♂️

You don’t believe it’s correct but your example is what I said happens so that doesn’t make sense. An interim care order is an order of the court … so social services can’t remove without a court order … There’s also an emergency protection order… from a judge … in a court. The police however can remove children immediately without a court order for up to 72 hours under Police Powers of protection… no court order needed. This is normally used to give social services time to go to court as needed for the above.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-64647958.amp Bridgend Social Services still over burdened and struggling despite having a terrible child death not that long ago. Perhaps they should threaten to imprison the frontline workers … that will surely solve their problems?

Tell it to the courts/judges… They are the ones who make the decisions. LOADS of kids experience abuse at home and are left as it’s not “bad enough” for removal. I think you’d be surprised at the scale of it… similar to domestic violence … it’s happening everywhere. The Police are the only people who have the power to remove children immediately without a court order. I have been there to pick up the pieces where they’ve said no risk and refused to remove kids and they have come to harm (very significant). There’s not much point blaming the front line staff … no one has a crystal ball and can predict which cases will be fine if left and which can go horribly wrong.

It’s not rocket science, children under 2 are significantly more vulnerable than children 13+ to things like neglect? Much younger children can’t ask for help, can’t make their own food like many children have to, etc etc. Also in the family courts the older children have a voice… younger children often can’t say what they want. In the past working in a number of children’s homes every child I met no matter what abuse or experience they had suffered all wanted to be at home, they all wanted to have a family who cared for them, they just wanted the abuse etc to stop, none of them wanted to be in a care home.

Does she have a sister?

Looking at the info, the social services had the family in court more than once asking for removal of the children, the judge let them go home, said it was more important to be together as a family than the concerns. Blame the frontline workers though.

Would you blame an individual Police Officer if they were prioritising 5 emergency calls, and someone died on the call they didn’t make it to? Send that Police officer to prison for manslaughter? Would you hold doctors and nurses to the same ‘account’ for not seeing patients in time? People die everyday because they’re sat on waiting lists and not seen fast enough… paramedics prioritising calls and some don’t get made to fast enough … Blame the individual workers in a number of under resourced fields that are already struggling to recruit … The threat of being “accountable” (blamed or scapegoat) when something goes wrong doesn’t suddenly make those professionals able to do 4-5x as much work as they could previously. It just makes them leave the profession. Blow the whistle on what? People hitting their kids? There’s thousands of incidents a day. There are indeed many more in her situation. Social workers get criticised if they go to court and remove the children, then get criticised on cases where they don’t.

The parents who murdered her. There are bad people in the world. Child abuse of all sorts is rife. As I said, if the system has capacity to deal with so many cases and you throw 4-5x as many at the system it won’t be able to process and review them all properly. This has been identified by multiple reviews yet continues to happen. If you think blaming an individual worker will solve these problems dream on. The industry is already short staffed and unable to recruit, blame the front line staff when it goes wrong will help.
