Danny Talbot: Lack of support

Danny Talbot had the behaviour of a two-year-old when he was first placed in care at the age of nine: he could not wash himself, use the toilet, or chew his food.

The report said it seemed Danny had raised himself and was unused to any routine in his life at that stage.

It expressed concern that there were “significant shortcomings” in the care provided to Danny who died in 2009, aged 19, from a drugs overdose.
