00:00Nikki produced a report, I think it was last year or the year before, called A Failed Child,
00:06which was about the story of Vicky in the Western Trust, who spent time with us
00:13and tracks her from birth right through and all of the missed opportunities to support Vicky,
00:19but she spent a considerable period of time with us and we were never an appropriate facility.
00:23So when it does, it doesn't happen often, but when it does happen it can have a massive impact
00:28on both the child, their family and us.
