Child safeguarding practice review describes ‘failure of the system as a whole’ to protect girl and her 24-year-old victim
An inquiry into the circumstances leading to the manslaughter of a 24-year-old man by a 14-year-old girl has found “a failure of the system as a whole” to protect her and her victim.
The child safeguarding practice review by Birmingham and West Sussex authorities found that the systems put in place to help the child throughout her troubled life had had “no effect at all”. No one involved in the case can be named to protect the identity of the girl.
