BASW responds to awful death of Finley Boden

The British Association of Social Workers sends its heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and all those affected by the horrific killing of Finley Boden.

We await the outcome of the Local Child Safeguarding Practice Review to understand findings and learning, including the potential impact of manipulative behaviour and how Covid was reported to have been used to stop agencies seeing Finley during lockdowns in 2020.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this terrible tragedy at this very sad and painful time
