Reports into Edlington child abuse scandal
The findings of two reports - prompted by the kidnap and torture of two boys in Edlington by two young brothers - are out today.
Doncaster Council: Failures remain in system
The council at the centre of a child protection storm after the Edlington case has admitted that "features of that systematic failure remain today". Doncaster Council made the comments ahead of the publication of two reports which are expected to be highly critical of services in the town.
The first was ordered by Secretary of State for Education Michael Gove in March. That report, by Lord Carlile, is due to be published along with the latest report on child protection in Doncaster following an unannounced 10-day inspection last month by Ofsted.
