We are talking about children who were at risk or looked after: who could be more vulnerable? Who in their right minds thinks that an a young child in such circumstances has the ability to report any incident of abuse or inappropriate behaviour? <br />DCMD: I think the blame must be shared by more than one individual, and if no one is held accountable this will be utterly unacceptable. Senior officers demand salaries consistent with private sector levels but want to be exempt from the responsibility such a high rate of reward reflects. In the private sector such incompetence would mean they were kicked out immediately. Of course the reason most of these individuals are in the public sector, albeit on nicely arranged private contracts, is because they can't hack it in the real world.Mrs Angryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586223909475832791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-69533952186949871312011-06-17T18:20:37.519+01:002011-06-17T18:20:37.519+01:00How can Lord Palmer say that it should be up to th...How can Lord Palmer say that it should be up to the Chief Executive to instigate disciplinary proceedings? It is the Chief Executive who is responsible for this debacle. Is Mr Walkley going to smack himself on the bottom and send himself to bed without any supper? Walkley must be sacked, and the whole One Barnet project put on hold unless and until the council can demonstrate that external contractors can be properly controlled and held accountable for their actions.Don't Call Me Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602899129846028170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371203489316363738.post-54017860773573243682011-06-17T17:30:02.318+01:002011-06-17T17:30:02.318+01:00The Haute de la Garenne home closed in the 80'...The Haute de la Garenne home closed in the 80's and the matter only came to light 30 years later. I don't think the Officers of Barnet Council will be able to sleep peacefully in their beds for some years, assuming they have any sort of social conscience.<br />No complaint doesn't mean no problem, now does it.<br />If I spent my time complaining about everything Barnet Council does wrong I would do nothing else.Mr Mustardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12522242686839965655noreply@blogger.com
