Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and six-year-old Bebe King were fatally attacked at a Taylor Swift-themed dance workshop. Ten others, including eight children, were seriously injured. In January the perpetrator, from Banks in Lancashire, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 52 years. Dr Irani was asked about her assessment of how the local CAMHS service and the local forensic child and adolescent mental health service (FCAMHS) had treated him. Nicholas Moss KC, counsel to the inquiry, put it to Dr Irani that a CAMHS assessment of the killer six days before the attack which read "poses risk to others: none" was "wholly inadequate and wrong". Dr Irani agreed it was. By that stage a number of agencies were aware that he had taken a knife to school and had attacked a fellow pupil with a hockey stick. However, some details of the knife incidents were not included in a CAMHS assessment. Mr Moss asked Dr Irani for her opinion of the quality of the risk assessment [by CAMHS] "bearing in mind the seriousness of the events [Rudakubana] had been involved in". She replied: "That isn't a risk assessment - that just highlights what concerns were at the time. So that's not really a risk assessment."
