Chloe Valentine\u2019s grandmother speaks exclusively to FIVEAA after coroner recommends sweeping changes.<\/h3>\n

\u201cI think (SA coroner) Mark Johns has done an amazing job,\u201d Belinda Valentine told FIVEAA breakfast.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s had to sit and listen to some pretty horrific evidence and has come down with some very strong, clear recommendations,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of them are recommendations that I think they could pout into practice fairly quickly and quite easily.”<\/p>\n

Belinda said it honoured Chloe that the coroner recommended sweeping changes to SA\u2019s child protection services.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t take her safety seriously, they gave into the demands of Ashlee. And we know as a family just how demanding she is and it can be a scary thing. But we\u2019re talking about professionals in a child protection agency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Belinda said it was essential agencies live up to their names and protect children who don\u2019t have a voice and can\u2019t protect themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what this agency is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n
