The leader of troubled Pembrokeshire council has admitted that a small number of his staff 'harmed children in their care', according to local reports.
John Davies' admission follows a report earlier this month by schools inspectorate Estyn and the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales which uncovered a "shocking failure" to manage child abuse allegations in Pembrokeshire's schools. Children's commissioner for Wales Keith Towler is said to have described the report as "deeply disturbing".
The report has also provoked a row - according to the Local Government Chronicle - between two Labour ministers and Davies - also leader of the Welsh Local Government Association - after he accused them of a politically-motivated attack on independently-controlled councils.
