A private children's home in Birmingham housing four children with trauma and complex needs has been condemned as inadequate by Ofsted.
The home run by DMR Services was found to have 'serious and widespread failures that mean children are not protected or their welfare is not promoted or safeguarded'.
The British Association of Social Workers sends its heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and all those affected by the horrific murder of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes. We await the outcome of the local child safeguarding practice review and independent police review, to understand findings and learning, including the potential impact of the pandemic and lockdowns.
