Lessons are to be learned from the tragic death of schoolboy Yaseen Ege, child protection officials have said.
Yesterday a judge sentenced the seven-year-old’s mother Sara to life in prison, after which Cardiff Council published a six-page serious case review into the circumstances leading to Yaseen’s death.
It detailed claims about domestic violence in the youngster’s household dating back as far as 2003 and those initial concerns, told to a woman’s safety group, were not reported to police or Cardiff Council’s social services department.
Nick Jarman, chairman of Cardiff Local Safeguarding Children Board, said: “Knowledge and understanding in respect of safeguarding children is an area where continuous improvement is essential and the lessons learned from this review will contribute to practice development across agencies involved in working with children.”
