Haringey's Chiefs Call In The Cavalry

摘要

The London borough rocked late last year by the Baby P scandal has called on local government's support to help it back on the road to rehabilitation. Haringey LBC this week announced it has asked Hackney mayor, Jules Pipe, and Ealing LBC chief executive, Darra Singh, to join a new external advisers' board to help improve performance in its troubled children's services. The rest of the seven-strong board also includes Anne Marie Carrie, director for families and children, Kensington & Chelsea RLBC. The others, yet to be named, will be a director of housing as well as representatives from the Department of Children, Schools and Families, the Government Office for London, and the IDeA. A Hackney LBC spokesperson said this week: 'Mayor Pipe was approached by Haringey council to sit on a board of critical friends aimed at assisting them with their improvement programme. The aim of the board is peer to peer support to drive improvement.'
