Consider a recent case involving the family policing system in a county in Pennsylvania. Everything I am about to recount is true except for one detail: Two young children are taken from their mother. Their father is eager to take them in, but at the time of the removal he’s in the hospital. That’s because after he was hit by a drunk driver and confined to a wheelchair it led to medical complications that sometimes require hospitalization.

The government has ended statutory interventions in two council children’s services, while removing a commissioner appointed to direct improvements at a third. The Department for Education has revoked improvement directions issued to Sunderland and Worcestershire, meaning they are no londer under an obligation to comply with DfE instructions. The DfE initially issued a direction to Sunderland City Council in April 2017 after Ofsted had judged its children’s services as inadequate.

Most of us have the luxury of spending the holidays relaxing with our loved ones. But not everyone’s that lucky. Some are separated from their families; others don’t have a home to go back to. And for many, this new year doesn’t hold the normal excitement. Many have experienced another long, dreadful year due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. And who is there for all of these vulnerable people during the holiday season?

The promised review into the six-year-old’s death must not shy away from constraints linked to shrinking resources There is no easy way to make tragedies like the murder of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes less likely to happen. Child protection involves confronting experiences that many people can hardly bear to think about – witness the reactions to the horrifying evidence heard in the trial of the six-year-old’s killers, Thomas Hughes (his father) and Emma Tustin (his father’s partner).
