When should you fall on your sword
Sharon Shoesmith, the former Director of Children’s Services at Haringey Council refused to resign over the death of Baby P. She was not aware of Baby P until he died.

Jenni discusses the issues with Sophia Christie, Chief Executive of Birmingham East and North Primary Care Trust and Ruth Bender, Senior Lecturer at Cranfield School of Management. |
