The Ofsted report is misleading as the the figure is made up of all children who died while receiving any kind of local authority help - including terminally ill children receiving social care and accidental deaths of nursery age children. In reality the number of child abuse deaths averages about one a week. Still, one child dying of abuse is one too many.
