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
