Sanam Navsarka died in May 2008 after a long period of suffering A social worker has admitted ignoring warnings that a two-year-old girl was being abused, a week before the toddler was murdered by her mother’s partner.
Sanam Navsarka, of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, died on 8 May 2008 after suffering more than 100 injuries.
Judyth Kenworthy, a former family placement officer at Kirklees Council, admitted failing to pass on warnings she had received from a carer in 2008.
She is accused of misconduct by the General Social Care Council.
Ms Kenworthy admitted failing to inform her manager, a social worker or Kirklees Council’s duty and assessment team that Sanam was being physically abused.
She also agreed that, as a result of her actions, no measures were taken to safeguard Sanam and admitted withholding information when she gave a statement to police.
Sanam’s mother Zahbeena Navsarka was jailed for manslaughter and Subhan Anmwar for murder But Ms Kenworthy denies the allegation that the carer warned her that Sanam had been locked in a cupboard.
In 2009, Bradford Crown Court heard Sanam was beaten over four weeks and died in severe pain, with fractures to all her limbs. A metal pole was used to shatter one of her legs.
Her hand prints and bloodstains were found inside cupboards, where she had been put as a punishment.
In 2009 Subhan Anmwar, 21, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 23 years for her murder, while her mother Zahbeena Navsarka, 21, was jailed for nine years for manslaughter.
The hearing into Ms Kenworthy’s conduct continues.
