    We must ensure such safeguards are in place.

    Parents are not believed. Professionals' word is taken without challenge. Evidence seems not to be required.

    Safe guards must be in place for the child. Too often the adult caring for that child is not as they may seem, and the child is not believed or the person with concerns... All to offen incidents are dismissed by professionals.
