“mr maggs should hang his head in shame, aniother social services,abuse cace brushed under the carpet,swansea council and all the socal services, staff , should hang there heads in shame, and may the good lord forgive all the councls social services.”

“Imagine that - A council being advised by its own tame and timid lawyers that it can't reveal a report. Funny thing, especially when the council obviuosly wants it covered up and forgotten about. Thank god for skilled, highly-paid legal departments that can twist the red tape of human rights and data protection to come up with something that actually just protects the council. Well done Swansea Council.”

“The Post should continue to keep the local councils in our area on their toes. We need someone to bring these bodies to answer hard questions, and show everyone the problems. Not a witch hunt against the council but impartial and factual. The readers will bring the passion and lets hope it makes these public bodies think, after all we are their bosses ultimately, our taxes pay their wages, we elect the councillors. We need the Post to be our dog with a bone, not just for Aaron, but for everybody.”

“There are other people who should have their actions or lack of actions looked at here.
The Line Manager ,The Director of Social Services and The Cabinet member responsibly for all that goes on in that department thats what she gets Responsibility Allowance for”

“Civil servants, council workers, health staff, police and judges are employed by the nation. The nation is made up of people and we are the people who pay their wages.

As indirect employers we are entitled to know what goes on and why.
There is far, far too much going on behind the scenes with those that consider they are a law unto themselves. This also applies to those who we vote for we expect them to serve us. Please take note of the words serve us, not self serving, but serving the nation.

How many judgements are being passed down in our courts that we as people know to be unjust? The lack of accountability back to the people who are footing the bill is outrageous and I for one am sick of it.”

“It comes as no surprise to me to choose not to make the report public, as this would probably show the level of incompetence, which would horrify the public. These authorities have to be held more accountable for decisions that they make. I mean to say if the authorities are aware that a person who lives with and supports a convicted paedophile, are still happy for this person to be able to carry on working with young children and not inform the public, it makes me wonder what other skeletons they have hidden in the cupboard.”

“when victoria climbie died haringey social services did their own internal report.

then came the laming report/climbie inquiry and we got quite a different outcome

PUBLIC INQUIRY NOW!

WHERE ARE OUR FEEBLE AM's ETC?”

“Perhaps this is a case where the "freedom of Information Act" should be used to ensure that the public know what happened All too often local & national government organisations hide facts that the public (who are paying for their services) have a right to know.”

“This Report should be made Public! The Public needs to have confidence in our Social Services, this will not happen if we do not have access to this Report's findings. Effectively, we may have our own 'Baby P', in our 'Baby A'. I do not accept as a citizen of Swansea, What befell 'Baby A', may not happen again, as we see a repeat of another Report being with held just like the RoSPA Report with regards to Swansea Marina, where people have continued to have 'accidents' with little transparency of what has previously happened (or not happened).

We need transparency, we need honesty and we need to be fully informed, in regards to this report and investigations by the Social Services 'Big Wigs'! Their judgements have been called into question. How many more 'Baby A's are out there!?

At the "...Care Council for Wales hearing that she could no longer practice anywhere in the UK, after it concluded she showed "extremely poor judgement", is a pretty damning statement which seems at odds with Swansea Council's own internal investigations! The CCW are not reknown for making such sweeping statements without some justification, and I would, at this point in time, tend to believe the Social Services Sector's Regulator in Wales, decision and viewpoints on this matter. We need to ensure the health and safety of the Vulnerable in Swansea, under the care and supervision of Swansea Council's Social Services. There are now doubts that this essential Provision within Social Services, cannot be guaranteed nor can we expect our questions to be answered once beaurocracy has raised its ugly head!

My thoughts are with the family of 'Baby A'.

Jim Sheridan”

“Is anyone really surprised by this disclosure. Of course the senior management were never going to give up this report without a fight.

The decision not to publish proves that this Lib Dem Council lacks honesty and integrity.”
