The report found the child safety department did not put enough safeguards in place, overlooked 'clear red flags' before their deaths, and there was a lack of information-sharing across agencies.
But, the report said, Conley was "frequently non-compliant" with intervention requirements, leading the department to put Darcey-Helen in foster care on a short-term arrangement with her mother's consent."However no case plan was developed, and her mother was not held accountable for addressing the risk her behaviours posed to the baby," the report said.
"While it is clear the IPA with the Conley family was not managed well, the extent to which this is occurring with other families on current interventions is not clear. This must be quickly established," the report said. The Queensland Police Service failed to provide details about Conley's alleged drug dealing and drug use with the department when it requested information when closing the case.
"Information relating to concerns for the children were not shared with child safety by the Queensland Police Service and Queensland Health when they should have been."In the weeks before they died, people contacted the department with concerns about the children, "mainly about their mother using ice and dealing drugs".
