29/6/16 CommonsEd Ctte interviews Amanda Spielman candidate for Ofsted Chief Inspector
Child protection is a 'national threat' according to the Prime Minister. This resulted in the committee spending just 6 minutes on the subject during the 95 minute interview with Ms Spielman. The Committee seems unaware that more than 50% work time at the DfE is spent on child protection. The question about the buck stopping with Ofsted is simply illiterate and prompts one to ask what understa...

LBC - 6/4/14 James O'Brien. Home Office push: children disclosing.
Where is the evidence that says adults in Regulated Activities do not need the protection of Mandatory Reporting? Discretionary reporting of known and suspected abuse for Regulated Activities in England and Wales is possibly the most absurd basis on which child protection is grounded anywhere in the world.  Government is mistakenly terrified of MR. Their advisers don't understand the subject be...

One started, but not into the failures of the Local Authority and Police, but on who leaked the documents to The Times.
