Petition children under 11 years have compulsory 6 monthly health checks

After the terrible case of a very young child dying from abuse and neglect we must give professionals more opportunities to monitor childrens well-being.
As an ex primary teacher of 30 years I craved the opportunity to talk to other professionals about my concerns (not always fully evidenced) of my pupils. I fear that I too may have easily been in the shoes of the poor primary teacher in the case mentioned above. If the child had been weighed regularly, medical records crossed referenced the parents of the child would not so easily have been able to pull the wool over teachers, social workers eyes. We must bring back the health checks for children - have school nurses and give the necessary time to listen and talk to each other about the children in our care.... and provide a curriculum were children are given time to talk to adults in languages they understand and use.
