A REVIEW into the death of two-year-old Kyle Fisher does not go far enough, the partner of a woman wrongfully convicted of killing the toddler has claimed.

Lee Spencer, who uncovered medical evidence that prompted the retrial of babysitter Suzanne Holdsworth, has called for a further inquiry into the tragedy.

In 2005, Ms Holdsworth was jailed for life after being convicted of killing Kyle by banging his head against a wooden banister at her home in Millpool Close, Hartlepool.

However, the Court of Appeal later quashed her conviction.

She was then cleared after a re-trial where it emerged Kyle suffered from a number of brain abnormalities.

Hartlepool Local Safeguarding Children Board carried out a Serious Case Review in 2006 which found that that no agencies could be faulted for their care of the toddler.

That has now been reviewed and three recommendations made for monitoring potentially vulnerable children.

These include checks that child protection training for medical clinicians is being implemented and that the system which identifies vulnerable young parents is working correctly.

Mr Spencer said: “Kyle’s injuries were never investigated fully before his death and the board is simply not doing its job with this review.

I will seek a further review at the highest possible level.”

He believes Kyle’s predeath injuries should have been fully investigated, with the review showing that Kyle attended the accident and emergency department three times in a 17-month period before July 2004.

Nicola Bailey, chairman of Hartlepool Local Safeguarding Children Board, said: “This review has provided the opportunity to look at the circumstances surrounding this case again in light of the court outcome and the board has accepted the three additional recommendations.”

A spokeswoman for Cleveland Police said: “We are looking at the review closely to ensure that any learning points are implemented.”
