A REPORT into the death of Darwen teenager Carry Ann Brown has exonerated social services workers.
The report by Blackburn's Area Child Protection Committee, under an independent chairman, said nothing reasonably could have been done by professionals to prevent losing her life.
But police and social services were today told to tighten up management of contact visits between children in care and parents suspected of abusing them.
Carry Ann Brown, 14, of Huntington Drive, died in August 2003 following a car crash on the M6.
She had been driven away from her foster home in the Whitebirk area of Blackburn, by her father.
Last month Sean Brown pleaded guilty at Preston Crown Court to murdering his daughter and was jailed him for life.
Brown, 35, also of Huntington Drive, Darwen, was also jailed for 21 months to run concurrently for having unlawful sex with his daughter.
The court was told that during a supervised access visit - on August 14, 2003, the day of her death - Brown arranged to take his daughter away from the foster home.
