Northamptonshire agencies had 'delayed responses' before baby death

Northamptonshire agencies had 'delayed responses' before baby death There were "insufficiently robust or delayed responses" to a family whose six-week-old baby died, a report found.

Northamptonshire Safeguarding Children Partnership found the boy had injuries "not inconsistent" with co-sleeping when he died in November 2021.

It said his mother concealed the pregnancy from social workers, but had they known it may not have prevented his death.

The agencies involved said they had learned lessons from the case. BBC Northampton
