Social worker who visited Glasgow flat where toddler starved to death recommended 'no further action'

A social worker recommended no further action should be taken against a mum who kept her children in a 'untidy' flat. Martin Cullen, 46, made the submission to seniors after visiting Margaret Wade, 41, at her flat in Glasgow's Sighthill in July 2014.

His check-up with a health visitor was arranged after Irene Soley earlier found two-year-old Lauren Wade playing with a "poisonous" battery in the untidy property. Mr Cullen and Mrs Soley found the property to be in a "neat and tidy" condition after their visit. Mr Soley stated that she had "no reason" to up Lauren's health visitor safe guards from low to needing "attention."
