Reading's child protection services have been graded "inadequate" in a damning report from OfSted. However, the Labour council have welcomed the finding that once again as services under their care are already at rock bottom, the only way is up.

Lead councillor for children’s service Pete Ruhemann said: "Let's hope that the local press don't start looking into this damning report on child care in Reading and linking the death of Baby-P despite being on the at risk register with the death in Reading of Child-T despite being on the at risk register or I'll really be in trouble. If you think I'll be following the lead of Liz Santry, Haringey's Cabinet member for children and young people, by resigning, think again."
