Lessons to be learned from the case of Ellie Butler

Lessons to be learned from the case of Ellie Butler | Letters | Society | The Guardian:
Our hearts go out to the grandfather of murdered Ellie Butler, but your leader (23 June) is right that sound constitutional reasons prevent judges appearing before external agencies. However, this presents the president of the family division, James Munby, with a dilemma. He knows that a terrible mistake was made by one of his judges. He also knows that we expect lessons to be learned and that those of us involved in family cases, and the wider public, will want evidence that there have been changes and that we will not accept anodyne statements that things will be different in future.
