It looks like they may have tried to exclude SEN from the causes, but if they were that watertight on their stats, it begs the question why the reporting wasn't phrased differently.Jaxhttp://liveotherwise.co.uk/makingitupnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11652148.post-19864008770463816182009-07-28T06:12:04.424+01:002009-07-28T06:12:04.424+01:00Hi, sorry to have confused you with the date. I h...Hi, sorry to have confused you with the date. I had backdated the post so that I had a record of this questionnaire, but didn't want to use it as a post in itself, iyswim.<br /><br />I only saw it yesterday, ie: Monday 27th JULY in an FOI response from an LA (Hampshire) on one of the lists. I will include the date on it to avoid further confusion.<br /><br />The questions are highly significant in that it could mean that one might rule out the idea that Mr Badman's "known to social care" had included spurious referrals and children using services for reasons other than abuse..though actually we don't know that he didn't include these as we haven't seen all the responses he received, and we don't know how effectively the LAs disaggregated the false and the real abuse, and the users of services other than for abuse.<br /><br />Given the high standard deviation that Lynn found in her FOI analyses, it would suggest that Mr B would be very wrong to extrapolate upwards from the figures he did get here, but hey ho, it didn't stop him, though he must have known that his figures were highly questionable, so somewhere in the section on safeguarding in the review, he allows the HMCI to speak for him when he says something to the effect of "hey, you know what? Let's just forget about overall numbers. We know there have been one or two bad cases, lets fly with those.<br /><br />Thing is, Spry and Ishaq wouldn't have been solved by his proposals: Spry already known and visited, Ishaq - deputy head had phoned SS 4 times on day of dereg, and Ishaq's parents had a shut door when social worker turned up. <br /><br />Only law abiding HE families will register and answer the door. Registration and inspection therefore = a pointless waste of money.Carlottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12686469871331093679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11652148.post-34160126340859663772009-07-27T23:41:03.024+01:002009-07-27T23:41:03.024+01:00Carlotta- I have just become aware of this 25 loca...Carlotta- I have just become aware of this 25 local authorities questionairre. HOw on earth have we missed this on all the lists? how on earth did you get hold of it? do you know which 25 La's were asked - we think Hampshire responded.
