The BBC has an update from today's hearing into the conduct of Judyth Kenworthy, the family placement officer involved in the Sanam Navsarka abuse case.

Kenworthy has admitted failing to inform her manager, a social worker or Kirklees Council's duty and assessment team that Sanam was being physically abused, the BBC reports. And she agreed that, as a result of her actions, no measures were taken to safeguard the two-year-old.

Kenworthy also admitted withholding information when she gave a statement to police, but denies the allegation that the carer warned her that Sanam had been locked in a cupboard.

The General Social Care Council's hearing continues.
