Yes, they are the points that I'm trying make ps and Eloethan - the police, and others, don't seem overly culturally-sensitive and this is used as an excuse for other shortcomings.
In the case of Victoria Climbie was there any real evidence that cultural-sensitivities played a part in her death, as is often quoted? Haringey Council by the way is the same one involved in Baby P.
The Data Protection Act used to be quoted a lot - I remember at the time of the Soham murders, it emerged that Ian Huntley was on a list/had a record but the information was not passed on between two neighbouring police authorities as it should have been, and he might not have go the job as the school caretaker. Some dopey chief constable said that was due to the DPA - it was the first thing that came into his head. He was much criticized for that because there was no such restriction on passing on the information.
