Matter to be raised in Tynwald
The Isle of Man needs to learn from the mistakes of the UK's social services, according to the Speaker of the House of Keys.
Steve Rodan MHK is part of a social affairs parliamentary scrutiny committee presenting its first report to be debated in Tynwald on Tuesday.
The report - 'Over-Referral and Under-Preparedness' - makes eight recommendations regarding the improvement of child protection on the Island.
Mr Rodan says the number of reported cases of child abuse here is very similar to the UK:


Person suffers 'significant injuries' in 'serious assault' near Peel
Business case for horse trams to be put before Tynwald in July
Plans to turn 'underused space' in central Douglas into wellness retreat
Employment grievance 'upheld' against board of Peel Commissioners
2026 Parish Walk takes place today
