A woman has been arrested on suspicion of child neglect after a 21-month-old girl was badly injured in a house fire, police say.

The child is in a critical but stable condition in hospital after the incident at a property in Cattell Way, Bedworth on Sunday afternoon.

Police attended along with firefighters and paramedics after receiving the report shortly before 14:20.

Det Ch Insp Tim Sharp from Warwickshire Police said: “We’ve launched a thorough investigation into the fire and our thoughts are with the injured girl and her family at this time.

“We’re appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time to get in touch, especially if they’ve got mobile phone or dash cam footage of the incident.”

A programme for primary pupils in Warwickshire teaching about relationships is to be reviewed, said the county council, following claims some of it is inappropriate for younger pupils.

Speaking in Parliament last week Rugby MP Mark Pawsey said the All About Me programme "goes well beyond statutory guidance" from the Department for Education.

The Conservative MP said he had been contacted by "concerned parents" who believe that some of the material is not appropriate.

"I understand that Warwickshire County Council is urgently reviewing this programme, " he said in a statement.

"I hope that the outcome of that will be to reassure parents that what is being taught to their children is suitable for their age.”

Warwickshire County Council said: "These resources are fully researched, evidence based and in line with the department for education guidelines.

"The council considers all comments carefully and so we will be reviewing this content."
