CHILD protection experts will carry out a serious case review into the death of four-year-old Chloe Burke.

Bury Safeguarding Children Board, an independent multi-agency panel, has been asked to look into the circumstances of the tragedy.

Police are treating Chloe’s death as murder after she was found with multiple stab wounds at her home in Lea Mount Drive, Fairfield.

Serious case reviews are carried out if abuse or neglect is believed to be a factor in a child’s death. They must be held when a child is suspected to have been killed by a parent.

This review — which is expected to take several months — will look at whether lessons can be learned from the tragedy.

A spokesman for Bury Council confirmed: “There will be a serious case review carried out by the Bury Safeguarding Children Board into the circumstances surrounding the death of Chloe Burke.

“This will be carried out in accordance with statutory guidance.”

At the time of Chloe’s death, her mother was being investigated by the Information Commissioner’s Office for allegedly breaching patient confidentiality.

Ms Makin, a nurse, is accused of passing information to a third party while working at Moorgate Primary Care Centre in Bury.

She worked at the centre as an employee of Rock Healthcare from September 2009 to August 2010.

Chief Superintendent Jon Rush, Bury police divisional commander, said the family was not known to social services.

Police are continuing to investigate what happened, but are not looking for anyone else in connection with Chloe’s death.
