There is a documentary to be shown on BBC1 on Monday claiming to tell the hidden story behind Peter Connelly’s death. I say ‘claims’ as, despite it being shown on the world respected BBC, these days I question the purpose and motive of everything I see and read :/
It seems that the police sought to manipulate the press to connect the case to Victoria Climbie’s – it would certainly gather more ammunition to hurl at social workers by doing so and deflect against others who might have prevented Peter’s death.
I am struggling to see how an Ofsted report can go missing. The reports are a public document available online and paper copies are issued to the organisation.
I suppose it is understandable that everyone concerned will look into their handling of such a case ensure paperwork is up to date etc, and so there is bound to be some retrospectively added comments manipulated by hindsight.
I wonder about the motives for such a programme so long after the event, guaranteed viewers for the tragic, cruel death of a little blond boy? I suppose if it repairs some of the damage to the social work profession… Yes, lessons should always be learned from tragedy and fault carried where it lies and yes it is public interest…I suppose I am just a bit too much anti TV and news these days. Give me a chick flick any day 
The television is a controlling device as far as i am concerned, designed to hypnotize people into think in a certain way albeit, sub consciously.
I agree with you that everything on there is going to be shown with a motive in mind and most likely to aim to ‘validate’ failings.
Maybe it is there way of repairing the damage they have made to the stature of the social worker; due to laying heavy amounts on the burden on Social Workers in the past?
What with big projects being launched like Frontline to get more social workers into the field, i feel a new wave has emerged and there is no longer this urgency to hold social workers at the forefront of debate.
Why that is I have no answers, but maybe that is something we could look into.A social or political evolution maybe, which proves it serves no benefit to society to blame social workers?
