Nottingham council used Childrens Home Inspector Joni Cameron-Blair to cover-up senior staff crime

Children's Home Inspector Joni Cameron-Blair
Used by Nottinghamshire Council to warn them of potential scandals so they could quietly cover them up

She had been beaten up by her father, who was suffering from a psychiatric disorder, and was taken into care for her own protection. Beechwood was supposed to be a place of safety but turned out to be a nightmare that has left lifelong scars.

“It had previously been a remand home and the cells, with barred windows, were still there,” she says.

“I was locked in solitary confinement for hours in a cell with no toilet and no access to water or food. I’d done nothing wrong. The staff were meant to be looking after us but kids were routinely kicked and beaten. These were children with no one to protect them or speak up for.....
