BACK TO NEWSThe government’s national review into the circumstances behind Arthur Labinjo-Hughes’s murder will report by May next year and recommend improvements to local and national child safeguarding practice.
Annie Hudson, chair of the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel, will lead her organisation’s first national inquiry and wrote to education secretary Nadhim Zahawi on Monday to propose its terms of reference.
The review will seek to:

- Make recommendations about how local and/or national safeguarding practice and systems should change to protect children in the future.
