The Ilford Recorder has an article on the findings of the London Assembly Liberal Democrats' report on incidents of children in care going missing - showing that 13 children went missing when placed by Redbridge Council in care outside the Borough.
Tom Rahilly, the NSPCC’s head of strategy and development, said:
“Going missing from care can present a significant risk to children.
“It’s often an important warning sign they are suffering serious harm or at imminent risk of doing so.
“If any other child went missing their parent would rightly move heaven and earth to find them.”
