Peter Gilroy, the Chief Executive of Kent County Council, was interviewed by the local BBC News today as part of a report on safeguarding of children in Kent. In particular, reference was made to the death of Tiffany in Sherwood at the hands of her father.
Peter Gilroy stated, quite rightly in my opinion, that we should not hound a social worker who in 30 years made one mistake. He went on to say that the social worker in question had saved many lives during her career.
Well said! It is encouraging to hear the head of an organisation robustly defend his staff against the rabble. It has been reported that the member of staff had been 'disciplined' and then retired. I think an injustice has been done to her. Decisions should be reviewed.
