RCN: Nationwide Child Protection Review Is Long Overdue
Commenting, Dr. Peter Carter, Chief Executive and General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), said:
"The RCN has been calling for government action to improve the dire state of child protection services in many parts of the country. It's the child protection postcode lottery that failed Victoria Climbie in 2000 and it's the same postcode lottery that has failed Baby P.
"Eight years after the death of Victoria Climbie, the system is not in place to prevent a similar tragedy, and Government, Trusts and local authorities must show greater leadership, and provide greater investment in training and access to Designated and Named Professionals. This would equip every part of the country with an adequate safeguarding and child protection service. The RCN looks forward to playing a full part in the Review announced today."
Royal College of Nursing (RCN) is the voice of nursing across the UK and is the largest professional union of nursing staff in the world. The RCN promotes the interest of nurses and patients on a wide range of issues and helps shape healthcare policy by working closely with the UK Government and other national and international institutions, trade unions, professional bodies and voluntary organisations.
