A bombshell report on abuse committed by Sara Sharif's father which could have saved her life has been kept secret...
Here we go, 'uman rites again?
...because of the killer's data protection rights.
Oh, they've found another get out clause!
A damning review in November showed that social workers had evidence of Sharif's 'extensive' domestic abuse before he started attacking 10-year-old Sara, but it was 'lost within the system'. Surrey County Council is now trying to prevent its publication over fears that it could breach Urfan Sharif's rights.
A pathetic attempt, and everyone knows what they are really concered about.
Woking MP Will Forster has called for the council to be placed into special measures.He said: 'This is absolutely appalling. This man is in prison for killing his daughter and Surrey County Council are concerned with data protection. If they cared as much about protecting vulnerable children, perhaps this would never have happened. 'This report was an opportunity to save her, but it was lost within the system. Now this is about ducking responsibility.'
And no, it's not their sole screw up. It never is:
In another blunder, the Daily Mail has learned that Sharif, a taxi driver, was given permission by the council to transport children with special educational needs to school, despite reports to police that he had abused women and children.
Well, no doubt you got to tick a box on someone's diversity scorecard by employing a Muslim, and what does chilren's safety matter when compared to that, eh?
Council leader Tim Oliver added: 'An independent safeguarding review was published last year. We are deeply sorry for the findings that related to us as a local authority. We take the findings with utmost seriousness.'
'But rest assured, no one will face any consequences for it, comrades!'
