Absolutely shocking that a caring, conscientious head teacher who loved her school (she attended it as a child) and community has taken her own life following an unfavourable & seemingly contentious #ofsted inspection. System change essential. RiP #RuthPerry
@marthie@ewandking@CareReviewWatch Interesting the first person to quote tweet the "map" is an investigative journalist, watch out for the doorstep paparazzi everyone
@CareReviewWatch We live in a world where social media can be misused, individuals can be targeted after being identified online so caution is always needed in my eyes.
Appreciate others would have a different view but hope you don’t mind me sharing my thoughts.
@CareReviewWatch Having a database of individuals, the authors feel are connected to specific activities or narratives in the public domain, with sensitive information available is again a concern for me.
A thread on #StarHobson and Social Work and #ChildProtection
On one level the public response of horror at the nature of Star’s death & apparent failures by social workers, police and medics to protect her is understandable 1/
@DanBurrows1980 @j_scourfield Yeh I guess there are limitations, my reading was report says this only comparable measure based on data we have... might be wrong as only just skim read! And still interesting for me as still NQSW after Y1 and is contrary imo to some narratives I have read
5 points about the tragic death of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes (we are unlikely to hear in the media)
A frontline child protection social workers perspective. Let me know your thoughts.

“One of my biggest fears,” says @Acsocialwork, “is that this will become a ‘this must never happen again’ moment and we’ll go back to scapegoating social workers.” https://t.co/A1ankbEaG7
Many large (sporting) organisations are uniting the public in grief to honour Arthur in ways not seen before. This makes it even more vital that the public are helped to understand the complex nature of such cases & why some children aren’t protected #arthurlabinjohughes
Whilst ‘understandable that strong emotional views are expressed in the immediate impact of a tragic death’, it’s important to recognise ‘that the child protection system can only aim to reduce child maltreatment, not eliminate it’.
