When something goes wrong, get the top boss to say "Lessons have been
learned" - (often used by Social Services departments - but car
manufacturers are catching on.)

With so many lessons being learned we may soon have no errors.


The slightly unfair thing about some of the social services stories,
written in hindsight, is that they ignore the point that a more
rigorous system could raise many more false positives, which are also
potentially very harmful. (Not defending errors, rather challenging
the *reporting*).


Another slightly unfair thing caused by lazy journo's is that they never
examine the resources Social Services are given to deal with these problems.
SWMBO works (in an admin role) for local social services. Caseload has
increased by 70% in 10 years, resources haven't.
