Professor Munro sets out initial analysis of child protection system

Professor Eileen Munro has set out her initial analysis on the child protection system in England. She has found that processes and procedures, and the unintentional consequences of previous reforms, are getting in the way of social workers spending time with vulnerable children and families.

The early scoping review explains that while previous reforms have been well-meaning and well-informed, they have not delivered positive long-lasting improvements at the front line. Changes during the past 40 years have been made in reaction to high-profile cases and have focused on parts of the system in isolation rather than looking at the system as a whole.

Note: Kind of reminds you of Wexler don't she. Fails to acknowledge the criminal element.

And Ms Tran finds us a PDF of the study.
