The findings of a serious case review into the death of Hamzah Khan will be released next week.
The mummified remains of the four-year-old boy were found in a travel cot in the bedroom of his mother, Amanda Hutton, in September 2011, nearly two years after his death from starvation.
Hamzah was found to be so malnourished that his body was found in a baby grow designed for a six to nine-month-old tot.
During Hutton’s trial the jury was told that the family had been visited by police and health workers several times during Hamzah’s short life.
On one occasion his mother, an alcoholic, had slammed the door in the face of a health visitor, and police had visited her on several occasions over reports of domestic abuse.
The serious case review report will be unveiled by a panel including Professor Nick Frost, independent chairman of the Bradford Safeguarding Children’s Board; Nancy Palmer, chairman of the serious case review panel; Kath Tunstall, Bradford Council’s strategic director of children’s services, and Superintendent Vince Firth, of West Yorkshire Police.
