Sure a document of that size would need to be reviewed and given the go ahead to go out. The only letter I ever got got around that size was a mobile phone bill with my calls and texts logged even then it was about 30/40 pages. Sorry I don't buy it was a mistake.

I felt so sad for her when she was recalling the occasion Maurice pointed out to her the tree on which he had wanted to hang himself. My God, what that family has had to endure.

I reckon it will become the focal point of peoples frustration in the coming days. It's off the wall.

If she enters an allegation, supposedly made directly by a victim, into a file, I don't know how or why any of her colleagues would question it. The social worker/counselor in question is known and gave public evidence at the tribunal. How she wasn't fired for gross misconduct is beyond me. I can only imagine that it wasn't clearly provable, despite the personal links to the "victim", hence the only available option was to blame a clerical error. A whole organisation gets a massive stain on its reputation to save this woman's career.

A clerical error as a reason just isn't good enoght after the piece tonight. You don't churn out 110 pages in error, accuse someone of raping children and then sorry 'clerical error'.'.
