Baby Peter sacking: Sharon Shoesmith wins appeal
An ex-Haringey social services director has won an appeal against a High Court ruling that her sacking after Baby Peter's death in 2007 was lawful.
Sharon Shoesmith was sacked three years ago
Court of Appeal judges allowed Sharon Shoesmith's challenge against a High Court ruling that cleared former children's secretary Ed Balls and the local authority of acting unlawfully.
Her appeal against watchdog Ofsted was dismissed.
Baby Peter Connelly was found dead in August 2007 with more than 50 injuries.
There is no doubt in the minds of public opinion that Sharon Shoesmith is not fit for the job she has/d at Haringey, but the Courts disagree.
Had MPs left some law alone these overpaid PUBLIC SERVANTS would have been ousted and four competent workers employed instead. Yes, you could get four reasonable social workers for the price of one self indulgent bureaucrat. This is the bad side of codified law, as in the USA where litigation override intelligence and common sense.
Perhaps then it would not be muted that Baby Peter wasa possible suicide victim. Let's get it straight. he died because of the inadequacies of the Haringey Social Services department of which Sharon Shoesmith was head. She wore the T-SHIRT AND TOOK THE MONEY. Need one say more?
Cruella de Shoesmith.
