Minimo Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Just read on teletext that Sharon Shoesmith has been sacked. The council leader and the cabinet member for children have resigned. There is no mention of any of the social workers involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffragette1 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Great, trial by media, except with finger trigger happy police of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 I don`t think that`s so Suffy. The action follows a damning report by the people sent in by Ed Balls to see what was going on. Clearly there were major problems which have been uncovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Tree Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 she should have been though. incompetent crow. 60 visits by her staff to 1 kid and still didnt section him off. They are the ones officially responsible. Usually 1 visit may be a bit harsh to take a kid away, 2 is rare, 3 or 4 and you know something is not right. 10 visits and the prison door should have been slammed then. But 60? Mickey mouse could have run a better department.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gal-tray Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 i saw her quote and picture in the metro, she didn't do herself any favours with her own words and her picture came across as hard faced, not my problem kind of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhippy Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Well actually, she hasn't been sacked, exactly. She has been 'removed from her post' but is on full pay. Probably to be moved elsewhere. BBC story here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistyraven Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 The whole lot of them should be sacked and new staff brought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Well done BBC, on teletext it plainly said she had been sacked and two high ranking council people had resigned. Now the story is completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
