An independent national review into the deaths of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes and Star Hobson has found they were not “isolated incidents” and suggested child protection needed to “change fundamentally” in England.
The review team, led by Annie Hudson, the chair of the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel, said child protection teams made up of police officers, social workers, and NHS staff should be set up in every area.
