Proceeding contribution from Meg Munn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Child Protection.


Child Protection

I know that the hon. Gentleman has taken an interest in this issue for some time, but when we cite such figures, it is important to look at the detail. Of those seven children, three were found to have died for reasons not related to abuse. Although local authorities may have serious case reviews when children die, those deaths are not always directly attributable to failures in care by social workers or other professionals.
