A significant number of children remain in situations of “unknown and unassessed” risk, according to a report on children’s services in Solihull, triggered by the murder of six-year-old Arthur Labinjo-Hughes.
The inspection report, which was published on Monday, also found the council faced longstanding problems with staffing and that after Arthur’s high-profile case, social workers were “highly reluctant to work in Solihull either on a permanent or agency basis”.
