Is this social worker inaction likely to count as neglect in UK law?

[Helppppppppp]

Can I get your opinion on this please as the person that is involved was hurt not long after this
so is this a clear case of neglect by social workers by not acting on the information to prevent serious harm

Was this about you @Helppppppppp ?
The meeting was 37 years ago.

What are you hoping to achieve?

Apologies, I now realise this is in legal and my point is probably a moot point.

Hopefully someone legal can answer your question.

Wouldn't the child be an adult by now?

What is the inaction? That picture doesn't show clearly what you're referring to

so is this a clear case of neglect by social workers by not acting on the information to prevent serious harm?

From the screenshot we can read - No. I wouldn't say it was clear. It is clear more information on how to protect these girls was being looked at. It was also back in 1989. Were you one of the girls being referred to?

The passage is marked “planning”
The SW says she will investigate options.
Is there a suggested follow up date?

The picture shows action being taken - a social worker investigating the options. There is clearly an intention to remove the girls from their existing placement, but it appears the social worker isn't sure as to the best short term option for the girls. It may be that there was neglect by social services, but there isn't enough information in the picture to say one way or the other. However, as this happened nearly 37 years ago, you may be out of time to bring any legal action. If you need to know for sure whether there was negligence and whether you have a claim you need to consult a solicitor who deals with this kind of case rather than internet randoms.

This is also pre Children Act 1989 so you would need to consider what the law and processes were at this point
