More questions over child death reports

We’re told that there are a few worried faces among Swansea Council spinners today. Their grim demeanour might have something to do with questions posed by the local press (and a few councillors) about recent serious case reviews into the unrelated deaths of three children and the possibility that key reports were altered at the request of social services to paint a less critical picture of events.

We understand that enquiries also include the circumstances under which a former head of childrens services was allowed to take early retirement following the death of Aaron Gilbert – a tragedy for which a single social worker was disciplined and then re-instated.
