Doncaster Council launches "multi agency review" after 7 year old girl dies in pond
It comes after the death of Nyla May Bradshaw last week
Doncaster Council has confirmed its launching a 'multi agency' review following the death of a seven year old girl, who drowned in a pond at a local golf course.
7 year old Nyla May Bradshaw was pulled from water at the Owston Hall course near Doncaster on March 30 after a search involving drones and a police helicopter.
A tribute posted on a GoFundMe page, set up to aid Nyla's family, reads: "Nyla was a deeply loved little girl—autistic and non-verbal—who brought so much light and love to those around her."
It's understood Nyla was in the care of a childminder at the time of her death.
Riana Nelson, Executive Director of Children, Young People and Families at City of Doncaster Council said: “Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Nyla’s family and all who knew and loved her."
"This is an incredibly sad incident, and a multi agency review process is under way. It would be inappropriate to comment on the circumstances while those formal processes are ongoing.
City of Doncaster Council is committed to supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities, and we work closely with early years settings, childcare providers and families to ensure children receive safe and appropriate care as per Ofsted guidance."
"We deliver a comprehensive training offer to early years and childcare providers covering SEND and safeguarding. All prospective childminders are offered a pre registration programme which includes SEND awareness and safeguarding expectations.”
