Peer who led inquiry into death of Victoria Climbié says social care cuts hitting child protection services
A crossbench peer who led the inquiry into the death of Victoria Climbié has warned that “marked” cuts to social care funding had taken their toll on child protection services that could have saved Arthur Labinjo-Hughes.
Herbert Laming said the reduction in funding for social care in the last 10 years meant children like Arthur, whose abuse and death has shocked the nation, were being missed.
