Empty words?
Despite everything that has been written and said about the death of Khyra Ishaq, Birmingham City Council are considering axing up to 36 front-line staff who work with vulnerable children. How can such cuts possibly better protect those children most in need of council protection? I have said before I was afraid Con Dem cuts are putting vulnerable children more at risk. I hope I am proved wrong. I fear I won't be.
