Shoesmith to appeal sacking
Head of Childrens Services at Haringey Council, Sharon Shoesmith is appealing against the sack, she lost her job in the wack of the Baby P outrage. Well the only thing I think I can say on this issue is the cheeky self centred bitch:mad:

I suppose it all comes down to why she was sacked and the way it was done. Employment law is there to protect us all and if they sacked her against procedure then she could be up for a big payout.
Now do you really expect a local council to have sacked her correctly? ;) |

Re: Shoesmith to appeal sacking
Or maybe her sacking was a knee jerk reaction? We need a Scape goat who is most vulnerable?
She may have been negligent, or maybe she was running an underfunded Department as best she could? She may have been screaming for assistance that wasn't being offered because child welfare is only a vote winner when something like this happens. She may even have been a selfish, I'm all right Jack sod you and your neglected kids. But I don't know, we don't seem to have many real details. If she was neglectful then by all means ensure she never has a position of responsibility ever again. But if she was struggling from lack of resources, (as is the case for most departments dealing with Children), then the buck shouldn't stop with her it should be placed squarely at the door of the Minister in charge. |
Re: Shoesmith to appeal sacking
I have to agree with Less on this one. Has anyone stopped to think that maybe Shoesmith was the scapegoat????
As head of department, she may have been well aware of what was going on but be running an overstressed and underfunded department. It's all well and good for Ministers to harp on about how to deal with these situations but when staffing is inadequate for workload or inexperienced for workload then these tragedies happen and will continue to happen despite the experience or presence of a manager. |
Re: Shoesmith to appeal sacking
I'm in agreement with Less & Lettie, until we know all the facts, not just the ones the media want us to know, how can we judge?

Re: Shoesmith to appeal sacking
As soon as i saw Shoesmith interviewed on TV i'm afraid i took an instant dislike to her!. Absolutely no empathy or humility displayed at all. I'm not at all surprised that shes had the gall to launch an appeal. I just hope that she ends up being very dissapointed by the outcome. But in todays society i'm afraid its more likely to be me whose dissapointed in the outcome!

Shoesmith may come over as hard faced, but until I have access to both sides of the story, I shall not be referring to anyone as a "cheeky, self-centred bitch." I will reserve my judgement until the full facts are available. I know from bitter experience that the bigger the cock up, the greater the need to blame someone else and drag people down. The people to be blamed here are the parents, who, brought a child into the world who they were totally incapable of looking after. |

Re: Shoesmith to appeal sacking
From 'Torygraph.co.uk"
The decision was taken today by a different panel of councillors from the ones who made the original decision. "Ms Shoesmith will not be returning to work in Haringey. She will not receive any compensation package. She will not receive any payment in lieu of notice." Employment law experts say Ms Shoesmith could be in line for a payout of up to £173,000 if she can prove that the council was wrong to sack her. |
