Wales' First Minister has ruled out an independent inquiry social services in Wales. It comes even after the death of five-year-old Logan Mwangi, who was murdered by his mother, stepfather and a 14-year-old boy despite social services being in contact with the family.
Mark Drakeford told LBC radio: "There will be a serious case review into the events surrounding the tragic death of that child. We will wait for that to be completed to see whether there any more general points in it that we will need to draw out on a wider basis".
Mr Drakeford said he thought it was never "right to rush into something very general from what is a very specific set of circumstances". He acknowledged that social work was "under enormous pressure".
