New child protection service launches in Tower Hamlets

The brutal murder of four year old Daniel Pelka by his mother and stepfather underlines once again the responsibility of statutory agencies in protecting our most vulnerable. A new report has found that problems in sharing information between such agencies led to a failure to protect Daniel. Tower Hamlets Council is acting to improve our child protection services. That’s why we have launched the new Tower Hamlets Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub. Its purpose is to improve cooperation between local agencies involved in child protection by bringing them into a single team, under one roof, in order to better protect children at risk in our borough.
