Some abused or neglected children in Edinburgh are being left in high-risk situations instead of being removed from their homes, inspectors have said.
A highly critical report by education inspectorate HMIE has called for urgent action to reform the city's child protection service.
the council's social work department was criticised in 2003 in the wake of baby Caleb Ness's death.
The city council said things have improved but more work is needed.
In its report, HMIE also found the service was better now than it was four years ago.
In 2001, 11-week-old Caleb was killed by his father, despite being the subject of child protection procedures.
A report into the death extensively criticised the protection arrangements for Caleb and "identified fault at almost every level in every agency involved".
The council then ordered a review of more than 300 child protection cases.
It said that an action plan had been put in place to address issues raised by the review.
However, the latest report revealed that some children have not had help quickly enough and were sometimes left at serious risk.
It said policies and vision appeared to be there on paper but they did not seem to have been put into effect.
