These people in Haringey Social Services and, apparently, so many civil servants, misled and misguided by their political masters, are completely out of touch with reality.

On the most trivial level of all, Sharon Shoesmith’s incompetent handling of the media and her department’s communications, mean she must be sacked.  We don’t even need to get involved in the more serious matters.  Just in this alone she has demonstrated her inability to do the job for which she is paid.  Sack her now!

She is responsible for what happened to Baby P.  Not directly but that is the whole point of management – to achieve results through others.  She should have had in place the recruitment, training and monitoring policies with safeguards and double checks at every level that would have made these events impossible.

It is demeaning, humiliating and just plain wrong to see these so called “professionals” ducking and diving to disguise their failures and save their skins.

Sack Sharon Shoesmith now!
