Safeguarding children--fit for purpose?
Abstract
Communication breakdown between organisations has come under scrutiny since the death of Victoria Climbié in 2000. Lord Laming made recommendations for changes in practice and the Green Paper Every Child Matters continued the theme. Child protection professionals have faced increasing pressure to meet targets and timeframes with a reducing workforce. Efficient record keeping is hampered by increasing movement of families. The challenges of the future are daunting.
