Serious child safeguarding concerns remain, Education Secretary told
MPs has written to Education Secretary Kit Malthouse to tell him they are “extremely concerned” about whether the chief executives of Solihull and Bradford Councils are up to the job of improving children’s services following the deaths of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes and Star Hobson. The Education Select Committee’s letter comes after it spoke to the senior officials from both councils and said it found their reassurances “inadequate”. The Committee added it was “extremely concerned as to whether the current leadership of Solihull and Bradford Councils will be able to safeguard other vulnerable children”.
