A massive amount of effort has gone into protecting children at risk across Dumfries and Galloway over the last 18 months – but council chiefs admit there is still plenty of work to do.

However, there is a list of eight families and 11 children waiting to be seen by the family support team which is run by social workers and their colleagues.
