The coroner's concerns
1. missed opportunity to provide support and protection
“Adelay in scheduling an appropriate meeting of Professionals resulted in a missed opportunity to provide support and protection of a young person at risk and there was not therefore a prompt response to a crisis”
2. closure of case without further assessments
“The decision to close the case (and then not to reopen the same) by DSS resulted in there being no further assessments conducted at a time when action should have been taken and could have resulted in additional support for the deceased and her family”
