A five-year-old boy who died on New Year's Eve had been reported to police as being at risk of neglect six months before his death.
Authorities had been contacted by a member of the public in the summer about concerns that Dylan Scanlon was not being properly cared for.
It is understood that an officer then sent an email to Oldham’s multi-agency safeguarding hub, a collaboration of social workers and other child protection experts, to flag the issue.
While a worker from the hub did return the email, it is unclear what, if any, steps were taken by either agency in the months before the youngster's tragic death, according to Manchester Evening News.
Oldham council has completed an initial review of the case and is preparing for a full child safeguarding practice review, while GMP immediately referred itself to the police complaints watchdog on the night of the incident.
Dylan was found at his home on Elm Road in Limeside at around 6.20pm on New Year’s Eve.
A woman in her 30s remains detained under the mental health act. No charges have been made and it is understood a post mortem was inconclusive. GMP's Murder Investigation Team is continuing its enquiries.
It is understood that Dylan had first been known to social services several years earlier while still very small, but a care plan and further intervention had not been deemed necessary.
He is not thought to have come across the radar of child protection again until July 2021, when police were alerted that he may be at risk of neglect.
At that point GMP emailed Oldham’s MASH, although it is not clear what official records were made on the force’s own system.
An official at the MASH is understood to have then replied, asking for more information.
