The County's Council's failure to protect children from harm is unforgiveable, according to the Liberal Democrat opposition at County Hall. They're calling for Conservative Councillor Andrew Grant, who's in charge of children's services, to resign.

Their comments refer to the OFSTED report which criticised the County Council's system for stopping the neglect and abuse of children.

The programme hears from the Council's Chief Executive Paul Blantern, from the leader of the Liberal Democrat group Councillor Brendan Glynane and the testimony of a mum from Northampton with her experience of Northamptonshire's childrens service.

Stuart talks to Councillor Andrew Grant and to Kevin Crompton, the new independent Chair of the Local Safeguarding Children Board.
