Compensation for Beechwood children`s home residents
Former residents at a children's care home have been
awarded compensation after claims they were sexually abused. Details were requested from Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire
County Council who both ran the home.
The councils said settlements had been made without admitting responsibility
and some claims were still ongoing. The children's home closed eight years ago and was run by both authorities
because of a boundary change...
On Friday a man was arrested on suspicion of child rape at the former home.
It followed an investigation into more than 50 claims of child sex abuse dating
back to the 1970s.
The councils do not admit responsibility for child abuse while children were in their care, but they can make the following statement on their website:
As a Board we have developed the Excellence in Safeguarding Children Tool. This guidance includes learning from Serious Case Reviews and practice guidance and is designed to help practitioners address the issues raised.
And how about this for arrogance?
Many of the city’s ambitions rest upon our collective ability to raise a new generation of children who can go on to achieve more than their parents.
It is GIRFEC without the named person.
Nottingham City’s Family Support Strategy will help us achieve this ambition. In particular, we must shift our focus towards greater prevention and earlier intervention. We want all agencies to take responsibility at an early stage for the well-being of children, young people and families that they come into contact with, and work together more effectively to address their needs. We can achieve a greater impact and better value for money by addressing root causes, not just symptoms
"It is GIRFEC without the named person." Nail hit precisely on head!
