Review announced into the tragic case of Liam Fee

From the Daily Star 1.6.2016:

"The SNP`s controversial Named Persons scheme `did nothing` to protect murdered tot Liam Fee, campaigners claim."

"Liam is the latest youngster to die despite having a state appointed guardian and also being known to social services."

"Liam`s childminder, nursery manager and family friends raised concerns with social workers on several occasions, while his health visitor - his Named Person under the scheme then being trialled by Fife Council - discussed her fears with the family GP."

"Despite all these warning signs, Liam`s case dropped `off the radar` when the social worker overseeing it went off sick on April 1, 2013."

"Just weeks before Liam`s death on March 22 2014, another two-year-old, Clyde Campbell, died of cot death in Inverness."

"He was repeatedly neglected by his mother Amanda Hardie and Highland Council also had the Named Person scheme in place at the time."

"The cases follow a number of other tragic deaths of youngsters in Scotland, including three-year-old Mikaeel Kular who was also know to social workers in Fife and Edinburgh before he was killed by his mother in January 2014."
