Abstract

The nation was shocked by the death of eight-year-old Victoria Climbié who was murdered by her great aunt and her boyfriend in February 2000. Starved, beaten and forced to sleep in a bath while bound hand and foot, and tied up in a bin-bag, the Climbie Inquiry found Victoria had been let down by a 'gross failure of the system' that should have protected her.
