Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, is quoted in The Guardian
as saying:
“… I think what people worry about is that maybe one bit of
the system doesn't talk to another bit of the system and information can fall
between stools. That's what the serious case review is all about."
The early indications are that people were talking to each
other, but the wrong decisions were being made. There is a need for great
caution here, remembering some of the wrong-headed and wasteful ideas that
sprung-up in the wake of the Victoria Climbié tragedy.
Please Mr. Clegg, don’t go down the information-sharing-will-sort-it
all-out road. It is more complex - much more complex – than that.
