Leiland-James Corkill: key information not shared before murder, report finds

Cumbrian boy might not have died had agencies collaborated better, investigation concludes

Information about drinking, debts and mental health that could have prevented a baby boy being placed with an adopting mother who went on to murder him was not shared between agencies, an investigation has concluded.

It also found that when the mother told social workers she was struggling to bond with the child, not enough support for the family was put in place.
