Children’s services on the Isle of Man have been branded ‘adequate’ and ‘weak’.
The findings from an independent inspection by the Care Inspectorate of Scotland have been published.
Inspectors visited the Island to examine and evaluate the quality of services for vulnerable children, young people and families at the end of last year.
Three key priorities were identified including the need for better early intervention and improvements in the immediate response to children who may be at risk of abuse or neglect.
Former Social Care Minister Chris Robertshaw says it’s clear where the problem lies:
Man denies disorderly behaviour in Douglas bar
Women's health conference held by Manx Care
Daddy Baby Care classes available from next month
MHK says housing policy isn't fit for purpose
Wildlife Week begins tomorrow
Woman from Merseyside denies drug dealing cash allegations
Cooil Road in Braddan now open following RTC
DHA issue statement following inquest of man who died in prison
