Three weeks in November, Three years on, is a defining report for child protection services in England. It shows that as a result of intensive work on behalf of children, court applications to protect vulnerable children are being made in a more timely way than in 2008 and at an earlier stage of local authority involvement with a family. In particular, neglect cases are being acted on more quickly, in terms of making court applications, than was the case prior to the Baby Peter Connelly case, and local authorities are more fully prepared coming into court, particularly in London.
Out of tragedy came initial anxiety, followed by determined action. All of the agencies involved, and Government, have played important parts in developing what this study reveals to be clear momentum towards improved interventions, despite the challenges for all of operating within finite budgets.
