Proceeding contribution from Angela Watkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 November 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Safeguarding Children.
Safeguarding Children
The Secretary of State will know that people who commit serious acts of abuse against children do so without witnesses and are clever at covering up the evidence. Is it known in how many, if any, of the 60 reported visits to the home of baby P, social workers were unable to gain access or were fobbed off with excuses that the child was not available because he was asleep or ill? Was social workers' right of access an issue or a contributory factor? Does that need to be looked at?
