SCR 1
Running in to a problem with the Ishaq SCR and I’ve not even got past the introduction! The terms of reference, supplied by Birmingham Safeguarding Children Board (BSCB) start off with ‘four priority areas’.
1. Rights of a Child:
• Rights of a Child to an Education
• Rights of a Child to appropriate health care,
• Rights of a Child to appropriate food,
• Rights of a Child to appropriate to accommodation and safety.2. Role of and barriers to individual agencies working together to ensure that these rights are upheld.
3. To identify the barriers that prevents the public from fulfilling their responsibility to safeguard children.
4. The role of BSCB in enabling communities to fulfil their responsibilities.
Excuse me? A child DIED and the terms of reference put her ‘right’ to an education at the top of the list?! Not at all leading then … as if that were even needed given they picked someone from notoriously anti-HE fake charity the NSPCC to write it.
