Two serious safeguarding cases relating to children in Leeds have been referred to a national panel in the last six months.

The cases, each of which involved a youngster suffering serious harm, were flagged to the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel by the Leeds authorities for attention. Leeds City Council members were told of the developments at a scrutiny board on Wednesday. Protocol dictates that local authorities must refer all cases where a child has come to serious harm to the national panel.

” Senior figures in Leeds were heavily criticised earlier this year when it was revealed that the repeated rape of an underage girl by her paedophile guardian had not been escalated nationally. Although local police and health officials had wanted to refer the case upwards, council officers had vetoed the move, arguing it did not meet the serious harm threshold.
