Michael Gove has highlighted the failures of the Children's Services' inspection regime after the release of the report into the Baby P case.
The Shadow Children's Secretary said, "It is now clear that the inspection regime for Children's Services in this country failed. OFSTED said a year ago, after Baby P had died, that Haringey provided a good service and now they paint a devastating picture of a dysfunctional council."
Michael also stressed that the report underlines how the current bureaucratic approach fails to ensure clear accountability:
"There are 121 social workers in Haringey and 191 children on the child protection register but yet nobody was properly responsible for Baby P."
Michael concluded, "It is now more important than ever that the Serious Case Review is published so the public can see what went so tragically wrong."
Michael is the Shadow Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families. He believes in helping children maximise their potential.
