A new report by Ofsted claims that local authorities are not doing enoguh to protect children from neglect.
The report Child Neglect: The Scandal That Never Breaks states that figures suggest that most children know another child suffering from neglect. The Ofsted inspectors found "inconsistent approaches" to assessing
neglect, and conclude that children are being left for too long in
harmful situations in nearly half of the long-term cases they examined.
The report also recommends that social work training is improved to
increase professional understanding of the impact of neglect on
children's lives.
