A child protection review will be carried out after the death of a two-year-old boy whose mother was jailed for neglect.

Clyde Campbell died as a result of cot death in February 2014 after he was left overnight without adult supervision.

The review will be conducted by the Highland Council's child protection committee.

Clyde's mother, Amanda Hardie, chose not to participate in the Scottish Government's Named Persons scheme, which is being piloted in the Highlands ahead of its nationwide roll-out.

Highland Council said the workings of the programme would not be assessed.

Director of care and learning Bill Alexander said: "While Ms Hardie chose not to seek support from her health visitor, other services continued to engage with her and her family.

"This is a tragic case which is deeply saddening for everyone involved.

"The sheriff made clear that Ms Hardie's behaviour was not a factor in Clyde's death. However, no child should experience neglect.

"The Highland child protection committee is reviewing the circumstances and will consider any learning points identified in that review."

Hardie had gone to work at a nightclub and then slept at her boyfriend's house the night before Clyde's body was found at their home in Raigmore, Inverness.

She pleaded guilty to wilfully ill-treating, abandoning, neglecting and exposing her son to unnecessary suffering or injury and was jailed for ten months.
