Dear C Murton

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST

I write in response to your Freedom of Information request of 29th April 2009. You asked for the following information, further to the response provided to you in a previous request:-

Can you please clarify a) the reason/type of abuse that is the concern of the Child Protection Plan - and if it was neglect whether that is educational or other b) whether the 6 suspected cases were false alarms or founded cases

In response to a) this is under the category of “physical harm”. In response to b) one was a proven case of neglect and the others were suspected cases of neglect but not founded.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any queries.

Yours sincerely

Margaret Loughlin
