Social services and police were alerted more than 60 times to concerns over the welfare of a nine-year-old boy in the years of torture before he was brutally killed by his mother and stepfather.
A Child Safeguarding Practice Review, published on Friday by the Worcestershire Safeguarding Children Partnership (WSCP), highlighted a catalogue of missed opportunities by authorities, including that the boy was classed as safe and well after home visits when he was not spoken to.
Freedom of Information requests by the BBC revealed on Friday that professionals were in fact contacted by people concerned about the boy's welfare as many as 64 times between 2018 and 2020.
