This info may help you too its taken from this website http://www.communitycare.co.uk/artic...protection.htm

In the aftermath of her death and the court case convicting Kouao and Manning of murder, Lord Laming was instructed to undertake an iquiry into the circumstances leading up to Climbie's death and make recommendations on how the system should change.

As a result of this report the government published a green paper entitled "Every Child Matters" and consequently passed the Children Act 2004. The changes it put in place included scrapping child protection registers in favour of child protection plans and creating an integrated children's computer system (ICS) to ensure information was more routinely and robustly collected.

Structural changes included creating the post of a director of children's services in each council who would ultimately be accountable for the safety of all children in their area. A common assessment framework was created so practitioners within health, education and the police could instigate better support for families not deemed to reach child protection thresholds. Local safeguarding children boards were also set up taking on the responsibility for multi-agency child protection training and investigating the causes of deaths and incidents of serious harm which may have been preventable in their area
