Steven Hoskin had learning disabilities and lived alone in St Austell. He was tortured and murdered by people who targeted him because of his learning disabilities. Investigations showed that Steven had made numerous calls to a number of agencies, including the police, health and social care services, so they should have been aware that he was in danger. Following the serious case review into Steven’s murder there have been significant improvements in communication, sharing information and partnership working between the agencies in the area.

Extremely interesting for those tasked with safeguarding responsibilities. Sad because of the necessity of the Serious Case Review.
