This report investigates the deaths of sisters Saliel Aplin, aged 12, and Olympia, aged 11, who were killed by their step-father in December 2001. Failings by Child, Youth and Family Services, the Police, schools and other professionals were identified as contributing to and maintaining family violence in the lives of Saliel and Olympia. Lack of interagency communication is emphasised as a significant factor undermining the care and protection of the sisters. Recommendations for improving interagency collaboration in instances of child abuse and neglect are made. Improving risk assessment strategies to incorporate talking, listening and responding to children is also recommended.
