‘Early warning’ system for child welfare checks under development

The programme of wellbeing checks comes in the wake of the death of Daniel Aruebose, who was born in December 2017, but died in 2021 at just three-and-a-half years old.

The Government is developing a new “early warning” system for child welfare checks, in the wake of the Daniel Aruebose case.

That case already sparked a major programme of 42,000 such checks.
