Star Hobson and Arthur Lanbinjo-Hughes were murdered by members of their close family who have been rightly held accountable for these terrible crimes. But their cases also highlight, yet again, what can happen if public services do not work together effectively and information about vulnerable children is not shared in a timely way.
The National Children’s Bureau, NSPCC, Action for Children, Barnardo’s and The Children’s Society, urge Govt to seize once-in-a-generation opportunity to fix children’s social care.
