Arthur Labinjo-Hughes: Government confirms review into six-year-old’s murder

The government has announced a major review into the circumstances which led to the murder of six-year-old Arthur Labinjo-Hughes in Solihull.

Led by Annie Hudson, chair of the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel, the review will seek to identify what went wrong in Arthur’s case in order to ensure that any necessary changes to practices are disseminated to social services and criminal justice agencies around England.

The national review replaces an earlier local child safeguarding practice review – previously known as a serious case review – which was put on hold during the trial.
