A 16-year-old girl with “significant and chronic disabilities” who died in squalor at her family home in rural mid-Wales did not have a care plan in place, a child practice review into her death has found.

Kaylea Titford, who had spina bifida and used a wheelchair, was found in conditions described as “unfit for any animal” in Newtown, Powys, leading to her parents being jailed for manslaughter by gross negligence.
