Baby P - Ed Balls - Childrens Secretary

Ed Balls, The Childrens Secretary, has announced his decision on the backbone of the Inspectors report into the death and violence enacted in the Baby P. case.

Well done to him for his involvement into the immediate sacking of Sharon Shoesmith, Head of Haringey Childrens Services, who intially said that there should be no-one sacked over the case, would be immediately removed from her job.

Ed Balls has put John Coughlan into the position and he must report back by 31st December 2008.

2 other members have also resigned in connection with the Baby P. case, George Meehan the Leader of Haringey Council Liz Santry and the Haringey Cabinet Member of Children and Young People.

Let us hope the this devasting death will not happen again in the UK, not least in Haringey!!
