There have been cases of child abuse which have hit the press where in the enquiry after something dreadful has occurred numerous involved people have discounted details they did not view as important.
these cases are few and far between that's why they end up in the press and tabloids. People who are meant to look out for these issues are already failing and with dire consequences for the children involved. It makes more sense to focus on the small amount of children which are abused rather than try and spread resources to cover every single child.
that if something happens to a child it can't be a case of, we didn't notice anything because there is a specific person who should have been checking in with that child
I wonder what will happen if that specific person misses something and it does have serious consequences for the child - what will the legal repercussions be? who will want that responsibility? In the old system there was no single person responsible for any issues of care and it was near impossible to prosecute those responsible however now there will be a named person who will be responsible it will be easy to prosecute.
apparently the education system is already suffering because less people are applying for head teachers jobs because they don't want the responsibility...
